“…Plate stiffness is key to performance. 15–18 There is a correlation between implant stiffness, instantaneous axis of rotation, and interbody loading. 15,16 If too rigid, the plate will stress-shield, reverse load the graft, and have a high likelihood of causing subsidence and graft failure or screw loosening.…”
