Fig. 5From: A biomechanical matched-pair comparison of two different locking plates for tibial diaphyseal comminuted fracture: carbon fiber-reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CF-PEEK) versus titanium platesRelative to the titanium locking plate (TLP), the stiffness of the CF-PEEK locking plate (CFLP) was 6.8% and 30.8% lower in 200 N and 700 N axial compression, respectively, 59.5% lower in torsion, and 48.9% lower in bending. *Significant (P < 0.05)Back to article page
