Finite Element Analysis of Different Double-Plate Angles in the Treatment of the Femoral Shaft Nonunion with No Cortical Support opposite the Primary Lateral Plate

Finite Element Analysis of Different Double-Plate Angles in the Treatment of the Femoral Shaft Nonunion with No Cortical Support opposite the Primary Lateral Plate

Objectives. We evaluated the biomechanical outcome of different plate fixation strategies (the single plate construct, 45° double-plate construct, 90° double-plate construct, 135° double-plate construct, and 180° double-plate construct) used for the fixation of the femoral shaft nonunion with no cor...
