The Impact of the Osteosynthesis Devices over the Trochanteric Area: Analysis Using the Finite Elements Method
Journal Title: Applied Medical Informatics - Year 2008, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The present research’s aim was to examine the ability to create an experimental model of the proximal femural region, to simulate the presence of an unstable intertrochanteric fracture line and an implant used for fracture fixation, using the finite element analysis. In addition, the PC software I used had the ability to examine the stress induced by static forces over the bone and implant and the deformation of the bone-implant assembly. The results are consistent and have clinical relevance, being useful in the choice of the implant design or implantation site in the operating area.
