Assessment of Stiffness and Strength of 4 Different Implants Available for Equine Fracture Treatment: A Study on a 20° Oblique Long‐Bone Fracture Model Using a Bone Substitute

Abstract

CRIF does not meet the demands for equine long-bone fracture treatment. With respect to biomechanical properties, DCP, LC-DCP, and LCP constructs did not show critical differences so other factors may direct clinical selection of these implants. We prefer the LCP implants because of the high yield strength, high stiffness under high-load application, and the least movement at the fracture line.

Three-dimensional design optimisation of patient-specific femoral plates as a means of bone remodelling reduction

“…As mentioned in Section 1, several studies have been carried out during recent years to compare different plates (Florin et al 2005;Wilkens et al 2008), their design (Schutz and Sudkamp 2003;Ramakrishna et al 2004), their material Florin et al 2005) and the effect of plate position (Gautier et al 2000;Khalafi et al 2006). However, these factors have rarely been combined to study their mutual effect on each other.…”

“…Lots of research has been focused on material properties of the implant, whereas biomechanical aspects such as shape, size and placement of it can as well play an important role in minimising remodelling. Any change in these factors could cause variations in the resultant stress (Gautier et al 2000;Schutz and Sudkamp 2003;Ramakrishna et al 2004;Florin et al 2005;Khalafi et al 2006) and eventually recovery of the patient which has been described more in detail in the results section. The type of fracture modelled would commonly be treated by the use of compression plates which is used to avoid loading at the fracture site, especially in the initial stages (Gerber et al 1990;Muller et al 1991;Perren 2003).…”

Stability of two angular stable locking plates for open wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO): TomoFix™ versus LOQTEQ® HTO plate

“…An established instable fracture gap model was used to study the two internal plate fixators in the present study [8,9,12,25]. All tests were performed in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Specification and Test Method for Metallic Bone Plates F382-99(2003)e1 [3].…”

Mechanical Characteristics of Locking and Compression Plate Constructs Applied Dorsally to Distal Radius Fractures

“…These plates provide additional stiffness, increase load-to-failure strength, 13 and reduce the possibility of screw loosening with subsequent loss of reduction. These locking plates may also allow for increased periosteal blood supply and eliminate the need for extreme contouring to match the shape of the radius.…”
