Plate-screw and screw-washer stability in a Schatzker type-I lateral tibial plateau fracture: a comparative biomechanical study

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical role of both a non-locking two-hole small fragment dynamic compression plate with 3.5-mm screws and a 4.5-mm cortical screw with a washer applied to a Schatzker type-I tibial plateau fracture. Sixteen right synthetic tibiae were used t...
