Biomechanics of bone-fracture fixation by stiffness-graded plates in comparison with stainless-steel plates

BACKGROUND: In the internal fixation of fractured bone by means of bone-plates fastened to the bone on its tensile surface, an on-going concern has been the excessive stress-shielding of the bone by the excessively-stiff stainless-steel plate. The compressive stress-shielding at the fracture-interfa...
