The search keys comprised terms to identify articles on biomechanical and clinical issues of flexible fixation of syndesmotic ruptures.

In contrast, a flexible fixation using 5.6 mm stainless steel non-locking plate with a larger bridging length promoted healing.

The flexible fixation method is known to provide beneficial conditions for healing bone fractures by allowing appropriate relative movement at the fracture site.

The clinical studies (149 ankles) demonstrated good functional results using the AOFAS score, indicating faster rehabilitation with flexible fixation than with screws.

This study was undertaken to measure the amount of slippage of a spinous process hook (that forms part of a flexible fixation system) during flexion.

Some in vitro biomechanical studies [12, 13] have reported recommendations that long plates with limited number of screws are essential to obtain a sound, flexible fixation and to reduce implant failure.

Flexible fixations by reducing the structural stiffness of prostheses or using low modulus materials are promising alternatives to overcome these problems.

Future work includes (a) the exploration of other approaches to model the flexible fixations of the exoskeleton, (b) the definition of a set of weights for the human model joints that represent the movement features of a set of human subjects, and (c) a quantitative assessment of the performance of our method in a functional rehabilitation scenario.

Flexible composite fixation devices provide enough initial fracture stabilization and an adequate environment to promote the desired secondary healing process.

Benz and co-workers investigated changes of stability during 4-point-bending and torsion, but they only achieved sufficient 2-nail flexible intramedullary fixation for testing in 3 out of 10 canine bones [ 39].

The basic idea behind these more flexible types of fixation is to decrease the strain at the fracture site, which was presumed to be too high after stable fixation of simple fracture types.
