The effect of flexion angle on the maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation. A, E The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation both significantly decrease as the elbow flexion angle increases when using a double 2.0-mm fixation bolt. B, F The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation both significantly decrease as the elbow flexion angle increases when using a double 2.5-mm fixation bolt. C, G The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation both significantly decrease as the elbow flexion angle increases when using a single 4.0-mm fixation bolt. D, H The maximum principal stress and the maximum deformation both significantly decrease as the elbow flexion angle increases when using a single 4.5-mm fixation bolt. Data shown are the mean and SD. n = 10
