Topology Optimization of Patient-Specific Custom-Fit Distal Tibia Plate: A Spiral Distal Tibia Bone Fracture

Currently, bone fractures are commonly treated with bone fixation plates that present rigid designs and stiff biometals (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V) that increase the probability of stress shielding happening during bone remodeling by shielding the required stress stimuli for adequate healing. This can lead to...
