Biomechanical testing of distal femur osteotomy plate fixation techniques: the role of simulated physiological loading

Biomechanical testing of distal femur osteotomy plate fixation techniques: the role of simulated physiological loading

Abstract Background Implants for fracture and/or osteotomy fixation are often tested according to basic mechanical test models such as open gap tests or 4‐point‐bending tests. These may be suitable to test and compare different implants for safety and clinical approval, but are not always representa...
