Polyetheretherketone in Orthopedic Plate Design to Facilitate Fracture Recovery

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is becoming an interesting alternative to titanium alloys and stainless steel in orthopedics. This study compares two types of PEEK fracture plates (natural and carbon reinforced) with titanium plates of the same design. Custom designed locking orthopedic plates made from...
