The impact of plate length, fibula integrity and plate placement on tibial shaft fixation stability: a finite element study

The impact of plate length, fibula integrity and plate placement on tibial shaft fixation stability: a finite element study

Abstract Background Tibial shaft fractures account for approximately 15% of long bone fractures. Locked plates with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis techniques are used widely by surgeons. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of factors meaning the plate length, fibula integ...
