Parallel versus orthogonal plate osteosynthesis of adult distal humerus fractures: a meta-analysis of biomechanical studies

ConclusionsThis meta-analysis shows that parallel constructs provide greater axial stiffness, axial strength, and torsional stiffness than orthogonal plate for DHF fixation. A subgroup analysis revealed that parallel constructs had better torsional stiffness in supracondylar fracture fixation.Level of evidenceIA
