Can we safely deform a plate to fit every bone? population-based fit assessment and finite element deformation of a distal tibial plate
Anatomically precontoured plates are commonly used to treat periarticular fractures. A well-fitting plate can be used as a tool for anatomical reduction of the fractured bone. Recent studies highlighted that some plates fit poorly for many patients due to considerable shape variations between bones...
