Reappraisal of clinical trauma trials: the critical impact of anthropometric parameters on fracture gap micro-mechanics—observations from a simulation-based study

Abstract The evidence base of surgical fracture care is extremely sparse with only few sound RCTs available. It is hypothesized that anthropometric factors relevantly influence mechanical conditions in the fracture gap, thereby interfering with the mechanoinduction of fracture healing. Development o...
