Randomized Controlled Trial
Periarticular raft constructs and fracture stability in split-depression tibial plateau fractures.
To evaluate relative fracture stability yielded by screws placed above a lateral plate, as well as locking and non-locking screws placed through a plate in a split depression tibia plateau fracture model. ⋯ Designs utilising screws through the plate trended towards statistically significant improved stability against plateau displacement relative to utilising screws outside the plate. Our study also suggests that there is no significant benefit of locking screws over non-locking screws in this unicondylar tibia plateau fracture model.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The potential of implant augmentation in the treatment of osteoporotic distal femur fractures: a biomechanical study.
Osteoporotic fractures of the distal femur are an underestimated and increasing problem in trauma and orthopaedic surgery. Therefore, this study investigates the biomechanical potential of implant augmentation in the treatment of these fractures. ⋯ This study shows a promising potential of implant augmentation in the treatment of osteoporotic distal femur fractures.
