Abstract

The volar locked fixed-angle plate maintained a greater percentage of its initial stiffness after cyclic loading compared to the dorsal nonlocked plate. Also, the volar locked plate was stiffer than the dorsal nonlocked plate for all loading configurations tested except when subjected to a dorsally applied eccentric load.
