Abstract
Interpretation: The best fracture fixation was achieved with the combined plate and strut graft constructs particularly in combination with the two unicortical screws above the fracture. The plate only constructs may not provide sufficient fixation stability in rotation for the simulated transverse fracture. The within-construct interfragmentary motions were not significantly different except for the plate only constructs. This suggests that the fixation construct type is the determining factor of interfragmentary motion.
