This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current research in the field of
orthopedic bone plates exploring the various reinforcements used in polymer-based hybrid …

Orthopedic bone plates, traditionally made from materials such as stainless steel or titanium
alloy, have been pivotal in treating fractures. However, the disparity in modulus between …

The use of additive manufacturing in metals by powder bed fusion via electron beam (PBF-
EB) is increasing for fabricating high-quality parts meeting industrial standards. However …

Additive manufacturing (AM) developments over the past three decades have led to the
emergence of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) in the mid-2000s. DfAM focuses on …

Background The study aimed to evaluate whether a new OhtoFix plate reduced stress
around the D-hole compared with an old OhtoFix and TomoFix plate. The study also …

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, fabricates objects by
sequentially layering material and fusing each layer until the object is complete. Among the …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) show unique shape memory effect and superelasticity, which
are quite different from the conventional metallic materials (eg, steels and titanium alloys) …

Open reduction and internal fixation of pelvic acetabular fractures are challenging due to the
limited surgical exposure from surrounding abdominal tissue. There have been a number of …

Abstract Directed Energy Deposition (DED), a metal additive manufacturing technique,
shows promise for future orthopaedic applications, especially in bone plate manufacturing …

This study aims to assess and rank the effectiveness of 3D reconstruction, parametric
