A comparison between cannulated and non-cannulated cancellous screws used in the fixation of a simulated femoral neck fracture

This project aims to create a three dimensional (3D) finite element model of a human femoral neck fracture fixed by stainless steel orthopedic screws. The screws used were either, cannulated and non-cannulated of varying outer diameters.
