Highlights
- •Built three fixation models: medial support pad (MSP)+LISS, antero-medial plate (AMP)+LISS, and medial plate (MP)+LISS.
- •Model of MSP+LISS showed better biomechanical performance than the double-plate model, testified by finite element analysis.
- •With finite element analysis, medial plate (MP)+LISS provided better biomechanical support than antero-medial plate (AMP)+LISS.
