From: Biomechanical optimization of different fixation modes for a proximal femoral L-osteotomy
Medial (top) and anterior (bottom) view of von Mises stress for the reconstructed femora with four different configurations of screw placement but at constant 126 mm longitudinal length of osteotomy. (A) P2/D2, (B) P2/D3, (C) P3/D2 and (D) P3/D3. (P: Proximal fixation; D: Distal fixation). No obvious difference in von Mises stress was found on the reconstructed femora with different screw fixation combinations.
