Mechanical optimization of plate-screw interfaces in variable-angle locking systems: a parametric study
Plate hole design-specifically slot size, thread number, and cone angle-significantly influences locking strength. The optimal design (3 slots, 1.3 mm, 22°) offers superior mechanical stability, guiding device optimization.
