Mechanical femur models with physiological boundary conditions produce more reliable results

What is it about?

Broken femurs are fixed by intramedullary nailing systems. The part of femur that is closer to the knee is called the distal part. Fractures near the distal part are sometimes harder to stabilize compared with those near the hip joint. Engineering study of a mechanically stabilized femur provides worthwhile information to doctors about te expected life. Physiological boundary conditions are critical to get accurte response predictions.

Why is it important?

In mechanical analysis of anatomical models, the physiological conditions should be correctly reflected in order to attain accuracy of results. accurate not consider physiological conditions. We aim to underline this in our work.
