Finite Element Analysis of a Controlled Dynamization Device for External Circular Fixation

Abstract Objective To virtually prototype a device for external circular fixation of long bone fractures with controlled dynamization made of two different materials and predict their mechanical behavior by using the finite element analysis (FEA) method. Method A software was used for 3D modeling...
