Finite Element Analysis of Titanium-Reinforced Polyetheretherketone Fracture Plating in Long Bones

The present study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to compare an original long bone plate design consisting of a titanium alloy reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) biomaterial with fracture plates made from a standard titanium alloy. The original plate design consists of carbon reinforced PEEK...
