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 …

Internal fixation is the most common and effective fracture treatment, and the design of
Internal Fixation Implants (IFI) is important for fracture healing. In recent decades, IFI have …

The current study investigates the biomechanical performance of porous bone plates
augmented with three different cellular lattice structures, eg, body-centered cube (BCC) …

In this paper, finite element analysis of a fractured tibia with a glass/polypropylene
composite implant is introduced. A rejection coefficient algorithm (for callus development) …

The current study aimed to investigate the influence of design factors of a functionally
graded biodegradable composite bone plate on the healing of a tibia fracture. A finite …

Micro-movements are considered to have strong influence on the secondary healing
process of fractured long bones, however, the translational shear movement is assumed to …

This proof-of-concept study designs distal femur fracture plates from semi-rigid materials vs.
traditional metals for toe-touch weight-bearing recommended to patients immediately after …

In high-energy trauma, severe segmental bone fractures are generally fixed using a
combination of a bone plate and a scaffold. In the present study, simulation of the bone …

Complications are common during bone fracture healing owing to incompatibility of the
implants. Flexible fibrous composite materials are promising materials that offer excellent …

A tunable stiffness bone rod was designed, optimized, and 3D printed to address the
shortcomings of existing bone fixation devices, such as stress shielding and bone nonunion …
