Finite Element Analysis of Femoral Fracture System

Abstract:

Plates are most commonly used fixation devices on treatment of femoral fracture, Hwoever, due to the unique mechanical properties and the strong bearing capacity of the femur, the cases of plate broken are at the top of the body skeleton. With the femur’s healing, the stress on the femur and plate is in the process of dynamic transfer. Therefor, healing factors of femur should be considered to more fully describe the stress conditions, on femoral fracture fixation study. This paper study on titanium plate fixation of femoral fracture, analyzed the stress of the femur and plate in different healing period of the femur under different loads.
