Biomechanical Evaluation of Dual Plate Configurations for Femoral Shaft Fracture Fixation

Figure 3

Analysis of the axial stiffness of the different constructs. DCP-A and DLP-A had significantly lower axial stiffness compared to their respective DCP-O and DLP-O constructs (p<0.001). DCP-O plating was more rigid axially compared to DLP-A (p<0.001), but not to DLP-O (p=0.19) specimens.
