Investigating the biomechanical function of the plate-type external fixator in the treatment of tibial fractures: a biomechanical study

Abstract Background The design of an external fixator with the optimal biomechanical function and the lowest profile has been highly pursued, as fracture healing is dependent on the stability and durability of fixation, and a low profile is more desired by patients. The plate-type external fixator,...
