Results of the destructive compression testing. Kaplan-Meier survival curve for destructive extra-axial compression of up to 1,200 N for the MDTP (dark) and RTN (light). All RTN implants survived the maximal load of 1,200 N, while all MDTP showed failure in form of plastic deformation (left graph) and closure of the fracture gap (right graph).
