Figs. 2-A and 2-B Construct stiffness and interfragmentary motion at 700 N for both locking plate constructs. Fig. 2-A Active locking plate (ACTIVE) constructs were up to 89% less stiff than the standard locking plate (LP) constructs. Fig. 2-B ACTIVE constructs induced symmetric motion of 1.0 to 1.2 mm at 700-N compression, and LP constructs induced asymmetric motion of <0.2 mm. The error bars indicate the standard deviation.
