Aramid-epoxy composite internal fixation plates: a pilot study

GVB Cochran, VR Palmieri, RE Zickel - Clinical Biomechanics, 1994 - Elsevier
Mechanical tests were conducted on an aramid-epoxy composite laminate in vitro and in
vivo to determine its suitability for internal fixation plates. This material, fashioned into blank
test coupons the size of the standard 4-hole AO-ASIF plates, had a tensile modulus of
elasticity significantly lower than bone. In three-point bending, blank test coupons exhibited
a low yield strength that would limit utility in significant load-bearing situations, but changes
in the layer configuration of the composite could be expected to improve this characteristic …
