Biomechanical testing of a novel osteosynthesis plate for the ulnar coronoid process.

Background: The present study aimed to biomechanically evaluate a novel locking plate intended for osteosynthesis of coronoid fracture compared to mini L-plates and cannulated screws.

Methods: Biomechanical tests were performed on a fracture model in synthetic bones. Three groups, each with eight implant-bone-constructs, were analyzed in quasi-static and dynamic tests.
