Biomechanical Analysis of the Efficacy of Locking Plates during Cyclic Loading in Metacarpal Fractures

<table>The maximum load (load-to-failure after cyclic loading) was determined for group II (bicortical nonlocking plate) and group III (monocortical locking plate). No statistically significant difference was found.</table>
