Stiffness was measured under quasistatic, nondestructive four-point compression bending and torsion. Plate surface strain was recorded using three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation during four-point compression bending.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003WL had a significant effect on overall construct stiffness in both compression bending and in torsion, with shorter WL constructs having higher stiffness (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). PBD had no effect on construct stiffness in compression bending; however, a significant reduction in stiffness was noted in torsion (p\u2009=\u20090.047) as PBD incrementally increased. WL had a significant effect on plate strain in compression bending, with shorter WL constructs having lower plate strain (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). PBD had no effect on plate strain in compression bending except for lower plate strain recorded in long WL constructs with 1-mm PBD, compared with 1.5- and 3-mm PBD constructs (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Longer WL constructs, regardless of PBD, had lower stiffness in compression bending, while in torsion, some modulation of this effect was noted with incremental decreases in PBD. Longer WL resulted in high plate strain, regardless of PBD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1771198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]],"date-time":"2023-07-20T22:52:15Z","timestamp":1689893535000},"page":"001-007","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effect
