Biomechanical and biocompatibility study of carbon fibre/kevlar high tibial osteotomy elastic composite plate.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionCurrently, the T-shaped titanium Tomofix bone plate is the most commonly used internal fixation bone plate in Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). However, the modulus of elasticity of the hard titanium alloy plate does not match the modulus of elasticity of the human cortical bone, resulting in a large "stress shielding effect." At the same time, HTO bone plates have a certain elasticity of demand. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, the classical mechanical properties of carbon fibre/Kevlar composite plates were tested in bending, tensile and compression with different weaves ((plain weave/twill weave/W-weave/I-weave) and thicknesses. The biomechanical results after internal fixation of titanium and carbon fibre/Kevlar composite HTO bone plates of three different thicknesses (2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3.0 mm) were analyzed and compared using the finite element analysis (FEA) method, and their biocompatibility was investigated by the cell proliferation assay, and the analysis of live/dead staining activity.
resultsThe combination of mechanical strength and toughness of the 2.0 mm thick twill weave carbon fibre/Kevlar composite bone plate showed the best performance and a modulus of elasticity of 44.5 GPa.The finite element simulation shows that the 2.0 mm thick twill carbon fibre/Kevlar elastic composite bone graft plate has the best effect in reducing the "stress shielding effect". In addition, the carbon fibre/Kevlar material has good biocompatibility, and it does not react with hemolysis.
conclusionThe 2.0 mm twill weave carbon fibre/Kevlar elastic composite bone plate has sufficient strength and excellent toughness, and its modulus of elasticity is more compatible with human cortical bone, which fully meets the special demand for elasticity of HTO bone plate and at the same time, reduces the "stress shielding effect" with the best effect. Therefore, carbon fibre/Kevlar composites have great potential in the application of HTO bone plates.
