Perren built a strain-gauge load-cell plate to continuously measure axial compression in living cortical bone over weeks. The study asks whether static compression under rigid internal fixation causes pressure necrosis and how compression changes over time. It then applies this to a new titanium Dynamic Compression Plate.
