Externalised locking compression plate as an alternative to the unilateral external fixator : a biomechanical comparative study of axial and torsional stiffness

Objectives: External fixators are the traditional fixation method of choice for contaminated open fractures. However, patient acceptance is low due to the high profile and therefore physical burden of the constructs. An externalised locking compression plate is a low profile alternative. However, th...
