A novel stiffness-distribution-controlled hybrid locking compression plate for osteoporotic midshaft clavicle fractures: a finite element study

Abstract Background Fixation of osteoporotic midshaft clavicle fractures in elderly patients requires a careful balance between mechanical integrity and anatomical compatibility. Conventional single-diameter locking plate systems present an inherent trade-off, as larger plates pr...
