Models were created according to the type (cortex or locking) and method of implantation (uni- or bicortical) of the screw in the proximal hole of the locking compression plate. Four conditions were simulated: Immediate postoperative, ankylosis, ankylosis with partial removal (transarticular screws remaining) and ankylosis with no implants. An axial load of 8,700\u2009N was applied, and the major principal stresses in the bones and von Mises stress in the implants were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Cortical screws in the proximal hole better distributed the stresses, reducing their concentration along the diaphysis of the proximal phalanx in the postoperative condition. Stress distribution did not differ between partial and total implant removal. High stresses were observed in the implants, especially when locking screws were used, with a reduction observed after ankylosis simulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A cortex screw in the proximal hole reduces stress concentration in the proximal phalanx.
