Finite element analysis (FEA) of polylactic acid/polypropylene carbonate (PLA/PPC) blends fixation plate for craniomaxillofacial surgery
Purpose: The internal fixation plate of bone fractures by using polylactic acid (PLA) has attracted the attention of many researchers, as it is biodegradable and biocompatible to the human body. However, its brittleness has led to implant fracture. On the contrary, polypropylene carbonate (PPC), whi...
