Mind the gap between the fracture line and the length of the working area: a 2-D finite element analysis using an extramedullary fixation model
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the ideal working area for a simple transverse fracture line treated with a bridge plate. Methods: A 2-D finite element analysis of a hypothetical femur was performed for the quantitative evaluation of a large-fragment titanium alloy locking plate based on the pr...
