Design of a novel lateral mass screw–plate system for the treatment of unstable atlas fractures: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Osteosynthesis of unstable atlas fractures preserves joint motion and therefore has a distinct advantage over a range of treatment procedures. To prevent the potential disadvantages associated with osteosynthesis, a new atlas lateral mass screw–plate (LMSP) system has been design...
