Fig. 4From: Hybrid blade and locking plate fixation for proximal humerus fractures: a comparative biomechanical analysisMean peak load (F5) for PHILOS and Fx plate constructs during elastic loading of 5 mm cantilever displacement in extension, flexion, valgus and varus directions. For each direction, peak load is presented as the mean for five specimens (25 trials) in each construct group.
