Biomechanical Evaluation of the Less Invasive Stabilization System and the 95-degree Angled Blade Plate for the Internal Fixation of Distal Femur Fractures in Human Cadaveric Bones with High Bone Mineral Density

Abstract

Despite unicortical fixation axial loading to failure of the LISS did not result in implant/screw pull-out neither proximally nor distally. However, there does not appear to be a biomechanical advantage of using the LISS as opposed to a blade plate in bones with high bone mineral density.
