“…Under the three distinct loads, the pressure of model A was greater than that of model B, and the maximum stress of the two models under these loads was greater than that in the bone trabeculae but less than that of the normal tibia in the human body ( 16 - 18 ). Therefore, we suggest that patients treated by the two fixation methods should avoid strenuous exercise after surgery as to prevent trabecular microfractures.…”

Background: Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) are a challenging type of fracture in orthopedic traumatology.We previously designed a plate (Patent Number: CN201520195596.5) for posterolateral TPF combined with posterior lateral collapse.. In this study, finite element analysis was used to compare the biomechanical characteristics of two internal fixation methods for posterolateral TPF. We investigated the support effect of the new steel plate on lateral TPFs combined with posterior TPFs. Methods: Two models of complex TPF were established. Model A was fixed with the new type of plate, and model B was fixed without the plate. Three axial loads of 500, 1,000, and 1,500 N were applied using FEA on the two fracture models (A and B) to analyze the data.
