Compression and neutralization constructs restored the bone column, whereas bridge fixation eliminated load sharing by spanning a diaphyseal defect. All specimens underwent axial compression testing until failure, with stiffness, apparent elastic limit, maximum load to failure, and failure modes recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Construct stiffness varied according to fixation function. Intact femora and compression constructs demonstrated the highest stiffness values and were not significantly different from each other. Bridge constructs showed significantly lower stiffness values than intact, compression, and neutralization constructs. Intact femora also demonstrated higher apparent elastic limit and maximum load values than neutralization and bridge constructs. Plate bending was the predominant failure mode, especially in bridge fixation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Fixation function strongly influences the mechanical behaviour of locking plate constructs. Restoration of the bone column promotes load sharing and is associated with increased construct stiffness under axial compression.
