Deformation after cycling, yield load and displacement, stiffness and load at 2 mm of displacement were compared between groups.There were no significant differences between groups for any of the parameters. Variability of data was much larger for the P + P group.No biomechanical advantage was demonstrated. The P + P constructs were not significantly stronger than plates alone in this acutely loaded cadaveric model.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY SURGERY}, author={Krebs, Renee C. and Roe, Simon C. and Lascelles, B.
