(A) Radiograph of the 2.0Â mm plate showing bending 1 week after surgery; (B) FE analysis of the 2.0Â mm plate showed more pronounced bending (left) compared to the 2.4Â mm plate (right). Note that for illustration purposes the FE deformations were scaled by a factor of 5; (C) Radiograph of the 2.4Â mm plate 1 week after surgeryBack to article page
