Comparison of the Lag Screw Placements for the Treatment of Stable and Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures regarding Trabecular Bone Failure

Figure 6

The anterior-posterior sectional views of the compressive strain distributions of the femur trabecular heads (31-A2.1 fracture type) in nine models and graphical percentages of the strain values according to the gauge bar. The regions having strains values at below 1% are under a higher risk of trabecular bone failure.
