Can FEM-based preoperative planning for complex tibial plateau fractures improve surgical skills? A cadaver study
This biomechanical feasibility study demonstrated that FEM-based preoperative planning is feasible and easy to implement for complex tibial plateau fractures. This planning supports specialized surgeons in challenging operations and can improve the stability of osteosynthesis.
