Effects of Bone-Plate Material on the Predicted Stresses in the Tibial Shaft Comminuted Fractures: A Finite Element Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: CF50 plates can be safely used in the tibial shaft comminuted fracture. The micromotion in the CF50 and CF60 plate was more beneficial to callus formation and fracture healing. The stress shielding of the cortex bone under the CF50 plate was the lowest. The finite element analysis indicated that the CF-PEEK material is worthy of further study because of its biomechanical advantages.
