FRACTURE BONE PLATE ORIENTATIONS FOR TREATING OBLIQUE LONG BONE FRACTURES
INTRODUCTION
Once bone plate is surgically implanted, new
bone tissue or callus starts to form in the frature gap. The formation of callus is affected by mechanical stimuli and becomes harder as healing period elapses Purpose of plate is to provide biomechanical stability with minimal disturbance to biological environment The callus heals most optimally under a strain of 2-10%
ASSUMPTIONS
Bone with a oblique fracture (0.5 mm gap) is simplified by a hybrid cylinder composed of cortical and trabecular bone Metal-Biological tissue interfaces were given frictional contact with 0.4 frictional coefficient Situation under consideration is after 4 weeks of fracture, i.e material properties of the tissue growth between fracture gap is from 4 weeks of fracture Patient is assumed to be walking with crutches and the load being put on the long bone is 10% of persons total weight(70kg) Bone properties are assumed to be isotropic Threads on the shafts in bone plate are not considered
