An analytical model of lateral condylar plate working length
The strain predicted by the analytical model was consistent with the strain observed in both the finite element and biomechanical models. As demonstrated in existing literature, increasing the working length increases strain at the fracture site. Additional work is required to refine and establish validity and reliability of the analytical model.
