Mechanical Validation of Fourth-Generation Composite Femur and Tibia Models
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Mechanical analogue composite bone models have been used as cadaveric bone substitutes in a wide variety of biomechanical tests. The objective of this study was to validate the diaphyseal structural properties in terms of flexural rigidity, ultimate bending strength, axial stiffness, ultimate compression strength, ultimate torsional strength, torque angle at ultimate torsional strength and torsional rigidity of the Fourth-Generation composite analogue femur and tibia models (Pacific Research Laboratories, Inc., Vashon Island, WA).

Structural properties of fourth-generation composite femurs and tibias.
The purpose of this study was to measure the structural properties of the latest design (fourth-generation) of composite femurs and tibias from Pacific Research Laboratories, Inc. Fourth-generation composite bones have the same geometries as the third-generation bones, but the cortical bone analogue material was changed to one with increased fracture and fatigue resistance, tensile and compress...
متن کاملLongitudinal Shapes of the Tibia and Femur are Unrelated and Variable
In general practice, short films of the knee are used to assess component position and define the entry point for intramedullary femoral alignment in TKAs; however, whether it is justified to use the short film commonly used in research settings and everyday practice as a substitute for the whole leg view is controversial and needs clarification. In 138 long leg CT scanograms we measured the an...
متن کاملEvaluation of Synthetic Composite Femur Bones for Use in Hip Prostheses Studies: a Photoelastic Study
Recent studies in biomechanics have seen the increasing use of synthetic composite bones as an alternative to human cadaver specimens. Composite bones are a desirable alternative to cadaver specimens which can be difficult to obtain and maintain, have great inter-specimen variability, and are usually expensive. Pacific Research Labs, Inc. (Vashon, WA) released their second generation composite ...

Background & Aim: Normal axial alignment restoration in lower extremities is very important for surgeons that perform reconstructive surgeries. Since normal values of axial alignment in Iranian population aren't available, normal values in western countries are used in practice. In this study axial alignment norms in Iranian adults were determined and the results were compared with those of...
متن کاملExperimental validation of a finite element model of a human cadaveric tibia.
Finite element (FE) models of long bones are widely used to analyze implant designs. Experimental validation has been used to examine the accuracy of FE models of cadaveric femurs; however, although convergence tests have been carried out, no FE models of an intact and implanted human cadaveric tibia have been validated using a range of experimental loading conditions. The aim of the current st...
