A Discussion on Plating Factors that Affect Stress Shielding Using Finite Element Analysis
Fixation plates and screws are commonly used to promote stability and stiffness to fractures through the compression of bone fragments. However, the difference between the rigidity of an implant and the bone causes stress shielding, and can lead to excessive resorption in the vicinity of implants, t...
