Open Screw Placement in a 1.5 mm LCP Over a Fracture Gap Decreases Fatigue Life

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of plate and screw hole position on the stability of simulated radial fractures stabilized with a 1.5 mm condylar locking compression plate (LCP).Study DesignIn vitro mechanical testing of paired cadaveric limbs.Sample PopulationPaired radii (n = 7) stabilized w...
