The aim of the current study was to compare their biomechanical stability when using locking plate fixation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Twelve matched pairs of human anatomical lower leg specimens underwent on one side a proximal chevron osteotomy with a medial locking plate and on the other side a modified Lapidus arthrodesis with a plantar locking plate utilizing an interfragmentary compression screw. All specimens underwent bone mineral density (BMD) assessment and were tested in a servohydraulic load frame which applied a load on the centre of the metatarsal head over 1000 loading cycles with subsequently ultimate load testing. Displacement of the proximal and distal bone segment, ultimate load, and bending stiffness were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Mean displacement of both procedures showed no statistically significant difference throughout all the loading cycles (0.213\u2009\u2264\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.834). The mean ultimate load of the proximal chevron osteotomy was 227.9\u00a0N (\u00b1\u2009232.4) and of the modified Lapidus arthrodesis 162.9\u00a0N (\u00b1\u200974.6) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.754). The proximal chevron osteotomy (38.2\u00a0N\/mm (\u00b1\u200924.9)) had a significantly higher bending stiffness compared to the modified Lapidus arthrodesis (17.3\u00a0N\/mm (\u00b1\u20099.9)) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009). There was no correlation between BMD and displacement in all loading cycles, ultimate load, and bending stiffness of either procedure (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Although the bending stiffness of the chevron osteotomy was higher, there was no statistically significant difference between the surgical techniques in mean displacement and ultimate load. The BMD did not influence the overall stability of either reconstruction.
