Comparison of Internal Fixations for Distal Clavicular Fractures Based on Loading Tests and Finite Element Analyses
Figure 3
Finite element models, loading and constraint conditions. (a) Left is LCP clavicular hook plate model. Right is Scorpion model. (b) Applied vertical load was 50 N on the distal end of the clavicle. Squares show constraint. (c) Distal end of the clavicle was rotated 10°. Squares show constraint.
