Biomechanical Analysis of the Efficacy of Locking Plates during Cyclic Loading in Metacarpal Fractures
Purpose. To analyse the biomechanical characteristics of locking plates under cyclic loading compared to a nonlocking plate in a diaphyseal metacarpal fracture. Methods. Oblique diaphyseal shaft fractures in porcine metacarpal bones were created in a biomechanical fracture model. An anatomical reduc...
