Abstract
null null Background null It is hypothesized that the working length influences the implants fatigue behavior. However, few studies addressing this issue came to contrary results. Therefore, we tested systematically the influence of working length and implant material on the plate's endurance. null null null Methods null We used an artificial model providing the substantial angle and length conditions of a human femur. A fracture gap of 10 mm...
