Finite element and in vitro biomechanical analysis of a novel magnesium degradation-induced variable fixation plate
Although MVFP's stiffness slightly decreases compared to LP after shim degradation, it improves interfragmentary micromotion and reduces stress shielding while maintaining good fatigue resistance. MVFP with 0.5 mm axial micromotion shows promise for further development and clinical application.
