Comparisons of overall fracture-fixation construct stiffness. a Condition 1: 5-hole plate compared to 13-hole plate. b Condition 2: bicortical locking screws compared to bicortical nonlocking screws. c Condition 3: bicortical locking screws compared to unicortical locking screws. d Condition 4: 3 screws compared to 11 screws filling the proximal portion of the plate. e Condition 5: short fracture working length compared in longer fracture working length. f Condition 6: stainless steel plate and screw constructs compared to titanium plate and screw constructs
