Effects of bone-plate materials on the healing process of fractured tibia bone under time-varying conditions: a finite element analysis

Stress shielding is known to cause bone refracture or cause low healing rate in fractured bones. The numerical study of bone healing process of a transverse fractured tibia was conducted in this research to reduce the stress shielding. The stress and strain on the callus were evaluated when bone pla...
