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
The mechanical performance of a composite bone plate made of a glass/polypropylene (Twintex) for the biologic fixation of diaphyseal long bone fractures was investigated in this paper. To find out the most appropriate forming condition of the composite bone plate, tensile and bending tests and microscopic observations of the specimens fabricated by various forming conditions were carried out. The measured mechanical properties, the morphology of the material cross-section, the fibre volume fractions, etc., were mutually correlated, and the results were used for determining the most appropriate forming condition. An environmental test of composite bone plates under a simulated human body also was carried out using the fabricated composite bone plate. The material degradation according to the water-exposure time was quantitatively investigated by a four-point bending test. Finally, the serviceability of the proposed composite bone plate was verified by fatigue tests.
