Fig. 7From: 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 platesThe strength of the CF-PEEK locking plate was only 2.6% lower under axial compression than the titanium locking plate (P < 0.05), and 7.8% lower in torsion (P < 0.05), and 4.8% lower in bending (P < 0.05)Back to article page
