Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are innovative materials whose composition and/or
microstructure gradually vary in space according to a designed law. As a result, also the …

This paper aims to provide useful and practical information on the design of composite
prostheses for healing bone fractures and describes the material properties of living tissues …

The effect of screw–bone interface modelling strategies was evaluated in the setting of a
tibial mid-shaft fracture stabilised using locking plates. Three interface models were …

In orthopedic surgery, patient-specific bone plates are used for fixation when conventional
bone plates do not fit the specific anatomy of a patient. However, plate failure can occur due …

Bones are living tissues, consists of minerals like calcium and phosphorus. They grow
rapidly during one's early years and renew themselves. The bone is considered as a linear …

Abstract 3D finite element models for a fractured tibia with Stainless Steel (SS) and
Carbon/hydroxyapatite (C/HA) bone-plates are analyzed using ANSYS workbench. Plates …

Novel PLLA composite fibers containing hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorods with or without
surface lactic acid grafting were produced by extrusion for use as reinforcements in PLLA …

While locking plate fixation is becoming increasingly popular for complex and osteoporotic
fractures, for many indications compression plating remains the standard choice. This study …

This paper presents the simulation of the bone healing process of a fractured tibia with
oblique angles according to plate modulus and initial loading condition by FE analysis. To …

In the past three decades, finite element (FE) modelling has provided considerable
understanding to the area of musculoskeletal biomechanics. However, most of this …
