Abstract
In this paper, finite element analyses for estimating the behavior of fractured femur just after the operation were carried out by using ABAQUS 6.71. A stainless steel bone plate and composite bone plates with various stacking angles were considered to find out the effect of bone plate properties on bone fracture healing. In order to simulate the actual state, contact conditions between the plate and bone and fractured bones were imposed on the finite element models and the whole analysis was divided by two steps; screw fastening step and load bearing step. The stress and strain distributions at the fracture site for the cases of the stainless steel and composite bone plates were analyzed and compared with. From the analyses it was found that the composite bone plate had potential advantages for effective bone fractures healing relieving stress shielding effect.
