Table 1 The fourteen test groups are shown: Seven different stabilization techniques were tested in two different cyclic loading protocols, one with 500 N loading and one with 1000 N loading.

From: Plate osteosynthesis combined with bone cement provides the highest stability for tibial head depression fractures under high loading conditions
