Biomechanical Analysis and Design Method for Patient-Specific Reconstructive Implants for Large Bone Defects of the Distal Lateral Femur

Biomechanical Analysis and Design Method for Patient-Specific Reconstructive Implants for Large Bone Defects of the Distal Lateral Femur

This study aims to develop a generalizable method for designing a patient-specific reconstructive scaffold implant for a large distal lateral femur defect using finite element (FE) analysis and topology optimization. A 3D solid-core implant for the distal femur defect was designed to withhold the fe...
