Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of the material objects and the models for different plates. According to the respective manufacturer’s published data and precise physical measurement, the different four proximal tibial lateral plates were modeled accurately. (A) The 3.5 mm LCP ® Proximal Tibial Plate (DePuy Synthes). (B) The 3.5 mm VA-LCP ® Proximal Tibial Plate System (DePuy Synthes). (C) Periarticular Proximal Tibial Locking Plate (Zimmer). (D) Proximal Tibial Plating System (Biomet). LCP, locking compression plates; VA-LCP, variable angle locking compression plate.

Article Snippet: When the DePuy Synthes VA-LCP (screws at 0°) and the Zimmer plate were performed to experiment, the AP distances were about the same, accounting for 31% and 30% of the whole lateral plateau, respectively ( ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: 3D fracture maps of the uncaptured fragments for different internal fixations in oblique, axial, coronal and sagittal views: (A) the DePuy Synthes LCP; (B) the DePuy Synthes VA-LCP (at 0°); (C) the DePuy Synthes VA-LCP (at 0–15°); (D) the Zimmer plate; (E) the Biomet plate (at 0°); (F) the Biomet plate (at 0–25°). The uncaptured fragments were superimposed and represented in the gray zones. Darker colors represent a higher frequency of uncaptured areas. LCP, locking compression plates; VA-LCP, variable angle locking compression plate.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Heat maps of the uncaptured fragments for different internal fixations in oblique, axial, coronal and sagittal views: (A) the DePuy Synthes LCP; (B) the DePuy Synthes VA-LCP (at 0°); (C) the DePuy Synthes VA-LCP (at 0–15°); (D) the Zimmer plate; (E) the Biomet plate (at 0°); (F) the Biomet plate (at 0–25°). Heat maps illustrated high and low densities of uncaptured locations. In axial views, the red arrow represents the range of the high-frequency area of uncaptured fragments and the blue arrow represents the range of the whole area of uncaptured fragments. The percentage indicates the proportion of the AP distance in the area to the total width of the lateral plateau. The fibula is shown for anatomical orientation. Fibular fractures were present in some cases but were not drawn. LCP, locking compression plates; VA-LCP, variable angle locking compression plate; AP, anteroposterior.
