The schematic diagrams to illustrate the biomechanical effects of screw parameters on the bone-fixator construct. A The contact length within the different bones. B The spanning area of the paired screws within the different bones. C The screw-rod constructs were used to calculate the projected lengths and areas onto the transverse plane. D The normalized contact length percentage. E The normalized spanning area percentage. The length and surface percentages were normalized by the values of the TT5.0–50
