Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Internal cable fixation aims to provide stability of fractured bone to avoid movement which could result in loosening of the implant and a delay in healing, especially for periprosthetic bone fractures. The current study investigated the effect of the cable tightening loads on stability of fractured bone with internal cable fixation. A finite element model of a fractured femur having a 45° medially down-cutting fracture was created and subjected to three tightening loads steps: 200, 300 and 400 N. The higher cable tightening load brought about better stabilization for fixed bone. The higher cable tightening load caused the fracture interface to rotate anterolateral about the femoral shaft axis. Fracture interface dislocation was observed larger in anterior-posterior direction rather than other directions. Using a tension-dislocation equation extrapolativley derived from results cable tensions of 460-550 N are expected to provide fixation stability in both rotational and translational aspects. © KSPE and Springer 2011.
