Abstract:
The paper deals with mechanical properties and structural changes within POLFIX external fixator plates used for tibial fracture treatment. The results indicate strengthening of the ALSI 316 L steel in the course of using of the plate. Structural comparison between the new and used implant showed insignificant increase of fatigue features within the plate. Overall results allow for multiple use of POLFIX plates.
