Over the years, osteosynthesis has been emphasizing mechanical stability of fragments to achieve stiff fixation, i.e., tight fixation of metallic implant. This, however, creates permanent stress-shielding because of the high modulus materials used (stainless steel or Ti implant), which easily leads...
