Topology optimization of metallic locking compression plates produced using electron beam melting

Bone fixation plates currently used to treat traumatic fractured bones and to promote fracture healing are built with metallic materials such as stainless steel, cobalt and titanium and its alloys (e.g. CoCrMo and Ti6Al4V). However, due to significant differences between the mechanical properties...
