Table 2 Comparison of fatigue test between novel self-locking plate and DePuy plate
From: Biomechanical study of a novel self-locking plate system for anterior cervical fixation
Load range (N) | Frequency (Hz) | Cycle times (n × 106) | Fatigue strength (MPa) | Damage | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Novel plate | 100 ~ 150 | 0.5 | 0.56 | 490.75 | Screw loose, crack at outer edge of right upper hole |
DePuy plate | 100 ~ 150 | 0.5 | 0.54 | 485.86 | Screw loose, crack at outer edge of right upper hole |
