Experimental and numerical investigation into the influence of loading conditions in biomechanical testing of locking plate fracture fixation devices

[摘要] Objectives Secondary fracture healing is strongly influenced by the stiffness of the bone-fixator system. Biomechanical tests are extensively used to investigate stiffness and strength of fixation devices. The stiffness values reported in the literature f
