Background and objective The fibula free flap (FFF) has been extensively used to repair
large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The reconstruction plate plays a …

Whilst the newly established biomechanical conditions following mandibular reconstruction
using fibula free flap can be a critical determinant for achieving favorable bone union, little …

While prosthetic devices have been extensively used to treat a wide range of human
diseases and injuries, failure of these devices due to fatigue under cyclic loading has been …

Bone tissue is a living composite material, providing mechanical and homeostatic functions,
and able to constantly adapt its microstructure to changes in long term loading. This …

Bone plates are used to treat bone fractures by stabilizing the fracture site and allowing
treatments to take place. Mechanical properties of the applied bone plate determine the …

Bone scaffolds play a crucial role in bone tissue engineering, providing mechanical support
for the growth of new tissue while enduring static and fatigue loads. Although polymers …

This paper aimed to develop a clinically validated bone remodeling algorithm by integrating
bone's dynamic properties in a multi-stage fashion based on a four-year clinical follow-up of …

The objective of this study was to more fully understand the mechanical behavior of bone
tissue that is important to find an alternative material to be used as an implant and to …

Titanium reconstruction plates are often used to bridge mandibulectomy defects in load
bearing scenarios when bone grafts are not well integrated to the host bone. The residual …

Cyclic loading of bone during daily activities can lead to fatigue degradation and increased
risk of fracture in both the young and elderly population. Damage processes under cyclic …
