Fig. 1From: In vitro analysis and in vivo assessment of fracture complications associated with use of locking plate constructs for stabilization of caprine tibial segmental defectsA Lateral view of tibia specimen mounted in poly-methyl-methacrylate prior to mechanical testing. B Caudal view of tibia specimen utilized for model illustration. C and D Cranial and lateral views of tibia specimens mounted in mechanical testing system prior to compression testing. In all specimens, the 1Â cm segmental ostectomy is stabilized using an 18Â cm (A and B) or 14Â cm (C and D) 316 stainless steel low contact round double threaded 8-hole, 4.5-mm thick locking plate applied in a bridging fashion with four bicortical locking screws proximal to the defect and four distalBack to article page
