Don’t mind the gap: reframing the Perren strain rule for fracture healing using insights from virtual mechanical testing
Aims: The “2 to 10% strain rule” for fracture healing has been widely interpreted to mean that interfragmentary strain greater than 10% predisposes a fracture to nonunion. This interpretation focuses on the gap-closing strain (axial micromotion divided by gap size), ignoring the region around the g...
