Mechanical Comparison of 3.5 mm Broad Dynamic Compression Plate, Broad Limited‐Contact Dynamic Compression Plate, and Narrow Locking Compression Plate Systems Using Interfragmentary Gap Models

Abstract

The LCP system is more likely than LC-DCP and DCP systems, with neutrally positioned screws, to maintain a planned interfragmentary gap, although gap strains range from 0% to 15% across the 2 mm gap during a trot load.
