AISI 316L stainless steel (SS) is one of the extensively used biomaterials to produce
implants and medical devices. It provides a low-cost solution with ample mechanical …

A case study of a failed humeral shaft locking compression plate is presented, starting with a
clinical case where failure occurred and an implant replacement was required. This study …

This paper considers the applicability of virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) for
calculation of stress intensity factor range for crack propagation in standard metal specimen …

A fractured stainless steel 3.5 mm proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate
and screws were investigated in this paper. This plate was used for ankle arthrodesis of a 68 …

Fracture behaviors of 42CrMo ultrahigh strength steel‐based bolt have been experimentally
studied including macroscopic and microscopic fracture observation, metallographic test …

Metallic biomaterials (biometals) are widely used for the manufacture of medical implants,
ranging from load-bearing orthopaedic prostheses to dental and cardiovascular implants …

This paper examines the mechanics of the tibiotalocalcaneal construct made with a PHILOS
plating system. A failed device consisting of the LCP plate and cortical, locking, and …

This research focuses on the hierarchical structure of bone and associated mechanical
properties at different scales to assess damage accumulation leading to premature failure …

Femoral nails are used to provide fixation for fractured long bones. These constructs
simultaneously provide stability and union in nearly 10% of cases of premature failure. The …

Every year in the United States roughly 300,000 people over the age of 65 suffer from a hip
fracture. Ninety five percent of which are the result from a fall. The resulting hip fracture can …
