| Variables tested | HCS | KW | LP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Displacement after cyclic loading, mm | 2.5 ± 0.1 | 2.8 ± 0.5 | 0.2 ± 1.0 |
| Stiffness, N/m | 7.3 ± 0.7 | 5.8 ± 0.5 | 9.5 ± 1.9 |
| Load to failure, N | 215.5 ± 39.0 | 279.7 ± 100.3 | 267.9 ± 44.1 |
| Displacement to failure, mm | 8.7 ± 2.5 | 6.6 ± 2.8 | 3.6 ± 0.2 |
Note. HCS = headless compression screw; KW = Kirschner wire; LP = locking plate.
