Screw selection at the plate end may reduce the risk of later peri-implant fracture– a finite element analysis
Objectives and questions: The introduction of the locking plate allowed overcoming some problems of internal fixation with conventional plates. However, fixation failure is still observed. One issue may be a peri-implant fracture at the end of the plate after consolidation of the initial fracture. The [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
