Fig. 6From: Finite element analysis of coronoid prostheses with different fixation methods in the treatment of comminuted coronoid process fractureComparison of the maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation obtained with different fixation patterns. A, D The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation were both smallest when using a single 4.5-mm fixation bolt at 30° flexion. B, E The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation were both smallest when using a single 4.5-mm fixation bolt at 90° flexion. C, F The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation were both smallest when using a single 4.5-mm fixation bolt at 130° flexion. Data shown are the mean and SD. n = 10; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
