Experimental and numerical investigation into the influence of loading conditions in biomechanical testing of locking plate fracture fixation devices

OBJECTIVES: Secondary fracture healing is strongly influenced by the stiffness of the bone-fixator system. Biomechanical tests are extensively used to investigate stiffness and strength of fixation devices. The stiffness values reported in the literature for locked plating, however, vary by three or...
