Maximum von Mises stress of the implant in coronal shear fracture of the distal humerus models under different test conditions. A Stress of novel plating configuration under axial straightening. B Stress of novel plating configuration under bending compression. C Stress of novel plating configuration under varus torsion. D Stress of orthogonal plating configuration under axial straightening. E Stress of orthogonal plating configuration under bending compression. F Stress of orthogonal plating configuration under varus torsion. G Stress of three-screw configuration under axial straightening. H Stress of three-screw configuration under bending compression. I Stress of three-screw configuration under varus torsion. The results show that for coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus, the three-screw fixation method has a certain advantage over the other two internal fixation methods in terms of stress dispersion
