An In Vitro Biomechanical Comparison of a Limited‐Contact Dynamic Compression Plate Fixation with a Dynamic Compression Plate Fixation of Osteotomized Equine Third Metacarpal Bones

Abstract

The clinical relevance of the cyclic fatigue data supports the conclusion that the broad DCP fixation is biomechanically superior to the broad LC-DCP fixation in osteotomized equine MC3 bones despite the results of the static overload testing.
