RISMechanical Properties and Engineering Analysis of Intramedullary Bone Fixation Nails Made From Fiber-Reinforced Composites: A Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Intramedullary nails (i.e., cylindrical or noncylindrical rods) for bone fracture fixation are manufactured using titanium or steel, which are stiffer compared to bone. Yet, stiff metal nails can limit interfragmentary ...
Biomechanical Measurements of Stiffness and Strength for Five Types of Whole Human and Artificial Humeri
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The human humerus is the third largest longbone and experiences 2–3% of all fractures. Yet, almost no data exist on its intact biomechanical properties, thus preventing researchers from obtaining a full understanding of ...
Biomechanical 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 ...
