Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStress Prediction in the Dynamic Compression Plate with Changing the Configuration of the Screw FixationBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: Human femur fracture is one of the most frequent type of bone fractures. One of the widely used methods in an internal fixation is an application of the Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP). The configuration of the screw fixation plays a major role of the DCP stress. Approach: This research is proposed to investigate the stress distribution in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of the Configuration of the Screw Fixation on the Interfragmentary StrainBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: The interfragmentary strain (εIF) is the important parameter for femur fracture healing. The Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) is commonly used in femur fracture. The DCP and the fractured femur are fixed by using the conventional screws. Approach: This research is proposed to investigate the effect of configuration of the screw fixation on the interfragmentary stain by using Finite … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 15 Mar 2012 · 7,031 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInterfragmentary ModulusBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: Young’s modulus and interfragmentary strain (εIF) are the important parameters in bone-plate testing and design. But Young’s modulus is not suitable when we use with εIF in the bone-plate testing. Approach: This research proposed a study on the Interfragmentary Modulus (IM) as the new parameter for the bone-plate testing. Results: The results from the FEM show that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,073 accessesView PDF Cite
