Fracture models were created with a custom-made osteotomy guide to provide the same fracture characteristics in every sample (AO\/OTA type 44A2). Fractures were reduced, and a novel MP was applied to bone models in the MP group and a TP was applied in the TP group. All of the samples were evaluated biomechanically, and force\/displacement and load to failure values were recorded.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The force required to create displacement in the MP group was twice of that in the TP group.
