Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary of fatigue failure tests: maximal load, vertical & lateral stiffness, number of cycles (all values prior to failure) and failure types. The values of the first 5 groups have been retrieved from our previous studies and reported here for comparison purposes. All the differences were not statistically significant
Article Snippet: Diffo Kaze et al. performed a biomechanical study (Diffo Kaze, ; Diffo Kaze et al., ) that compared the following five implants: the TomoFix small stature (TomoFix sm) and TomoFix standard (TomoFix std) plates of Synthes Gmbh (Oberdorf, Switzerland), and the ContourLock plate, iBalance implant and second generation PEEKPower plate of Arthrex (Munich, Germany) (Table , Group I to V).
Techniques: Comparison
