Construction and Biomechanical Properties of PolyAxial Self-Locking Anatomical Plate Based on the Geometry of Distal Tibia

Figure 4

Biomechanical tests of the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate. (a, d) Compression stiffness of conventional anatomical locking plate versus the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate. (b, e) 4-point bending stiffness of conventional anatomical locking plate versus the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate. (c, f) Torsion stiffness of conventional anatomical plate versus the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate. Note that there is no statistical significance in all three tests.
