 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 Point of contact with locking compression plate fixation of comminuted femoral osteoporosis biomechanical study of fracture Of: Bear Yan, Zhao Yufeng, Zi-Ming Wang, Du All India, Sun Hongzhen, Wu Siyu, Chen Weijun, Wang Aimin [Abstract] Objective To compare the new point of contact locking compression plate (PC LCP) and the dynamic compression plate (DCP) fixation of osteoporotic comminuted fracture of the femur biomechanics. Methods 12 on osteoporosis transverse fracture of the body is made of femur fracture gap of 1cm, simulated fracture model. each one randomly selected by PC LCP fixed, the other with DCP fixation. for before and after the four-point bending, axial compression and torsion test, the corresponding bending, compression and torsional rigidity. Results PC LCP fixation of osteoporotic comminuted femoral shaft fractures is stronger than the bending stiffness of 83.3% of DCP, the DCP compression rigidity of the torsional stiffness of 76.5% and 18.7 stronger than DCP %, the first two significant statistical difference (P lt;0.05). Conclusion The new PC LCP plate fixation of osteoporotic comminuted fracture of femoral shaft biomechanical properties superior to DCP.
