The effect of load obliquity on the strength of locking and nonlocking constructs in synthetic osteoporotic bone
Highlights • Bone fixation failure is dependent on the degree of load obliquity. • Screw design and the screw-plate interface influence failure mechanisms. • The failure mode for normal loads is pullout. • There are mixed failure modes for oblique and parallel loads.
