Straight and helical plating with locking plates for proximal humeral shaft fractures – a biomechanical comparison under physiological load conditions
Helical plating favors multidimensional deformation of the test sample in lateral-ventral direction under axial loading, resulting in a reduced axial construct stiffness and in an increased interfragmentary movement. No biomechanical failure is to be expected within physiological load boundaries.
