The effects of locking inserts and overtorque on the mechanical properties of a large fragment locking compression plate

Abstract Purpose The study was to determine the effect of locking hole inserts and their insertion torque on the fatigue life of a large fragment Locking Compression Plate (LCP) under bending forces. Methods Fatigue strength of the LCP was examined using cyclic three-point bend testing at 80% yield...
