Figure 3 Stress distribution nephograms of implants for the 2 fixation models in lateral bending: (A) horizontal screw-screw crosslink (hS-S CL) was tested in left-lateral bending; (B) horizontal rod-rod crosslink (hR-R CL) was tested in left-lateral bending; (C) hS-S CL was tested in right-lateral bending; and (D) hR-R CL was tested in right-lateral bending after applying a 1.5-Nm moment.
