Carbon-fibre reinforced plates for problem fractures.
We report our experience with carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates in the management of 19 problem fractures complicated by either infection, nonunion, comminution or contamination. The combination offers secure fixation without inhibition of callus formation.
متن کاملThe use of semi-rigid carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic plates for fixation of human fractures. Results of preliminary trials.
Semi-rigid plates have been constructed from epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fibre. These have been used in animal trials and also for internal fixation of 20 fractures of the human tibia. The results are generally very satisfactory, and support the view that semi-rigid fixation is not only desirable theoretically, but also works in practice. However, the results are from preliminary trials ...
متن کاملCarbon Fibre Composite Bone Plates
We compared the mechanical properties of carbon fibre composite bone plates with those of stainless steel and titanium. The composite plates have less stiffness with good fatigue properties. Tissue culture and small animal implantation confirmed the biocompatibility of the material. We also present a preliminary report on the use of the carbon fibre composite plates in 40 forearm fractures. All...
متن کاملAssessment of the Exit Defects in Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Plates Caused by Drilling
This paper investigates the formation of the exit defects in carbon fibre-reinforced plates and characterizes their features in terms of drilling conditions. It was found that spalling and fuzzing are the major mechanisms of exit defects. The spalling, consisting of a main region and a secondary region, is caused by chisel and cutting edge actions, in which the former plays a key role. The fuzz...
متن کاملImage Characterization of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites
A new methodology to detect fibres orientation in composite materials, using image processing tools is introduced. Several examples with manufacturing defects are studied using RIMAPS technique and the Variogram method. The characterization is made from digitized images of the samples. Combined use of RIMAPS and Variogram analyses identified the orientation of fibres and determined the values o...
