Table 2 Results of tensile tests on ulna fracture models in groups A to D. Biomechanical test results (maximum load and stiffness) for Groups A through D. Performance improved successively with each group, indicating that increased Kirschner wire implantation depth is associated with enhanced biomechanical properties.
