Effect of Calcium Triphosphate Cement on Proximal Humeral Fracture Osteosynthesis: A Finite Element Analysis

Purpose. To measure the effect of void-filling calcium triphosphate cement on the loads at the implant-bone interface of a proximal humeral fracture osteosynthesis using a finite element analysis. Methods. Finite element models of a 3-part proximal humeral fracture fixed with a plate with and withou...
