Conference Paper Description

Within this paper we present a new concept of osteosynthesis plate for bone fixation fractures. The concept of biofiligree and its applicability in the design and manufacture of a plate for the fixation of an ulna fracture is described and analyzed numerically. The biomechanical characterization was made using a finite element model based on a composite synthetic bone replicating the anatomic bone geometry. The results (displacements, stresses and strains) presented are of preliminary nature and the goal was to design and make the proof of the concept. The results observed evidence that these new type of bone fixation plates can be used for bone healing, especially for bone end fractures of low or moderate loads.
