International Shoulder Group

I am a trainee orthopaedic surgeon in Perth in Western Australia in the final stages of my training currently undertaking a research period. I want to look at the biomechanics of clavicle fracture plating (locked versus non locked, anterior versus superior plating). Whilst some of this has been done before in the literature, I don't think the the constructs have been tested very well -- usually by three or four point bending which I do not think is a good in-vivo mimic. What I'm hoping to do is to be able to quantify the forces that the in-vivo clavicle undergoes along with their vectors (in an assumed typical perioperative range( where we think patients will be likely to move in first 6 weeks post plating, say neutral rotn- 80deg IR, 0 - 90 deg abduction) so we can design a testing scenario that is more appropriate to the in-vivo situation - prob fatigue testing rather than load to failure. I cannot find however anything in the literature directly on point. Could anyone at least point me in the right direction or give me the contact of any other researchers in the field who you think might be able to help? I would be VERY grateful indeed. Paul
