Biomechanical effects of six internal fixation methods for distal femoral AO/OTA 33C1 fractures: finite element analysis
The combination of a 5-hole lateral plate and a medial T-shaped plate demonstrated significant biomechanical advantage compared to the other five groups. Although the 5-hole lateral plate model is slightly inferior compared to the 5-hole lateral plate and medial T-shaped plate, it remains an effective and safe fixation solution for AO/OTA 33C1 type fractures.
