A theoretical analysis by a finite elements model (FEM) of some external fixators (Hoffmann, Wagner, Orthofix and Ilizarov) was carried out. This study considered a logarithmic progress of callus elastic characteristics. A standard configuration of each fixator was defined where design and application characteristics were modified. A comparison among standard configurations and influence of every variation was made with regard to displacement and load transmission at the fracture site. An experimental evaluation of standard configurations was performed with a testing machine. After experimental validation of the theoretical model was achieved, an application of physiological loads which act on a fractured limb during normal gait was analysed. |
