A femur occurs a fracture easily as it is broken, since it is surrounded at a thick muscle etc. But a problem of impediment by a reduction and a fixing still remains. An angumentation is recently used as a method of a fracture. We analyzed a various stress and displacement of a femur as a finite element analysis in this project. And we make certain that a profit of an augumentation existed from the result.

The operation of femoral non-union after IM(Intramedullary) nailing in distally femoral fractures is considered. Augmentive plate fixation is the management of femoral non-union after IM nailing. The purpose of this study is to compare the bending, torsional stiffness and stress distribution of the two operations by the FEM(Finite Element Method). Augmentive plate fixation is better than IM nail fixation. These results conclude that plate augmentation is a useful method for the unstable femoral non-union after interlocking IM nailing.
