a, b Bone plate bending and torsional properties. The maximum slope (S) of the linear elastic portion of the load versus load-point displacement curve is generated to calculate the equivalent bending stiffness (E) that might be modified to better reflect the bending and torsional properties. We could intuitively confirm that the bending and torsional performances of the DMLS plates are stronger than those of the CNC plates
