Many properties were optimized simultaneously, such as shell temperature, mechanical strength, fatigue strength, and radiation resistance.
The roughness of the electroplated surface leads to a reduction in the mechanical and fatigue strength.
These data suggest that both mechanical static and fatigue strength increase with a wider proximal T-shaped plate design together with diverging proximal screws as used in the ContourLock plate or a closed-wedge construction as in the iBalance design.
We concluded in our previous studies (Diffo Kaze, 2016; Diffo Kaze et al., 2015) that mechanical static and fatigue strength increase with a wider proximal T-shaped plate design together with diverging proximal screws as used in the ContourLock plate, or in a closed-wedge construction as in the iBalance design.
As several new tibial osteotomy plates recently appeared on the market, the aim of the present study was to compare mechanical static and fatigue strength of three newly designed plates with gold standard plates for the treatment of medial knee joint osteoarthritis.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the mechanical static and fatigue strength of the size 2 osteotomy plate "Activmotion" with five other implants designed for the treatment of medial knee joint osteoarthritis, using a testing procedure that has already been defined, used and published (Diffo Kaze, 2016; Diffo Kaze et al., 2015; Maas et al., 2013).
The purpose of the present study was to compare the mechanical static and fatigue strength of the size 2 osteotomy plate "Activmotion" with the following five other common implants for the treatment of medial knee joint osteoarthritis: the TomoFix small stature, the TomoFix standard, the Contour Lock, the iBalance and the second generation PEEKPower.
The most favourable material for urinary bladder reconstruction has to possess good biocompatibility, biodegradation profile, and mechanical properties, especially fatigue strength and elasticity [ 5].
In the present work, important joint characteristics including strength, mechanical fatigue, damage tolerance and durability have been studied and discussed.
It is well known that shot peening strongly increases the fatigue strength of mechanical structures.
