- Abstract
Several strategies to reduce construct stiffness have been proposed to promote secondary bone healing following fracture fixation with locked bridge plating constructs. However, stiffness reduction is typically gained at the cost of construct strength. In the present study, we tested whether a novel strategy for stiffness reduction, termed far cortical locking, can significantly reduce the stiffness of a locked plating construct while retaining its strength.
