RISBiomechanical Analysis of a New Carbon Fiber/Flax/Epoxy Bone Fracture Plate Shows Less Stress Shielding Compared to a Standard Clinical Metal Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Femur fracture at the tip of a total hip replacement (THR), commonly known as Vancouver B1 fracture, is mainly treated using rigid metallic bone plates which may result in “stress shielding†leading to bone resorption ...
