Table 1.

Listing of combinations of plate length, fracture gap, number of screws, and associated screw positions used to create all fracture fixation models used for FEA simulations. (The forward slash (/) shows the different cases in fracture gaps and screw configurations.)

Plate length (Lplate cm) Fracture gap (dgap, cm) Number of screws (Nscrews Screw position (symmetry) e.g. 1,3 = screws in both 1 & 3 positions
