Static and Dynamic Differences in Fixation Stability between a Spacer Plate and a Small Stature Plate Fixator Used for High Tibial Osteotomies: A Biomechanical Bone Composite Study

(a) Low friction sliding support to apply purely vertical forces. (b) Specimen before mounting to hydraulic press. (c) Specimen under test: the lateral and the medial sensors (LS and MS) register the relative displacement over 180 mm from the tibia head. The sensors DX and DY measured the horizontal displacement of the tibia head, while VS measured the vertical displacement.
