Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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 problem of size/thickness optimization of a distal femoral-fracture fixation-plate is addressed computationally using a combined finite-element/design-optimization procedure. To obtain realistic physiological loading conditions associated with normal living activities (cycling, in the present case), a musculoskeletal multi-body inverse-dynamics analysis is carried out of a human riding the bicycle. While optimizing the design of the femoral-fracture locking-plate, realistic functional requirements pertaining to attain the required level of fracture-femur fixation and longevity/lifecycle were used. It is argued that these types of analysis should be used to complement pre-clinical implant-evaluation tests, the tests which normally include a limited number of physiological loading conditions and single pass/fail outcomes/decisions with respect to a set of lower-bound implant–performance criteria.
