Finite Element Analysis of Mandible Reconstruction Plate in the Case of Symphysis Fracture

Article Preview

Abstract:

The presented work is focused on stress - strain analysis of a reconstruction plate. For this problem the computational modelling was chosen with using finite element method. Mandible was created based on the methods of Reverse Engineering and CT images. Using these methods a STL model of mandible with cortical and cancellous bone tissue was created. A volume model of lower jaw with applied reconstruction plate was created in CAD software. A Symphysis fracture of lower jaw was modeled in calculation program ANSYS. The cancellous bone tissue is modeled with different mechanical properties, which corresponds to the varying quality of this tissue. In this work an influence of varying quality of cancellous bone tissue to von Mises stress is observed.
