Predicting the effect of individual weight-bearing on tibial load and fracture healing after tibial plateau fractures–introduction of a biomechanical simulation model
Using an adapted reference movement database, the model allows the determination of safe weight-bearing ranges concerning construct stability and fracture healing based on individual fracture morphology and treatment without exposing patients to excessive weight-bearing. Future studies can test this approach in more extensive patient-number studies and different treatment situations.
