Locked plate constructs are not necessarily stiffer than nonlocked constructs: A biomechanical investigation of locked versus nonlocked diaphyseal fixation in a human cadaveric model of nonosteoporotic and osteoporotic distal femoral fractures

Locked plate constructs are not necessarily stiffer than nonlocked constructs: A biomechanical investigation of locked versus nonlocked diaphyseal fixation in a human cadaveric model of nonosteoporotic and osteoporotic distal femoral fractures

Objectives:. The objective of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of locked and nonlocked diaphyseal fixation in a model of distal femur fractures using osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic human cadaveric bone. Methods:. A supracondylar osteotomy was created to mimic a fracture (OTA/...
