ABSTRACT

Objective: to determine the biomechanical behavior of the bone-Dynamic Hip Screw plate and the bone-monolateral external fixator sets and their influence on the distribution of stress before, during and after the removal of implant.
Methods: the study was based on the finite element model, taking into account the muscle actions and the body weight at the monopodal phase of the gait cycle as well as the anisotropic properties of the cortical tissue and the isotropic properties of the spongy part of the bone. A comparative study was also conducted on the stress condition of the implant and its influence over changes in the stress-deformation condition of the bone as long as the implant remains in the bone and after being removed.
Results: the variation percentage of the areas under traction and compression in the healthy bone was estimated for the loading condition in the monopodal gait along with the acting stresses in each element of the implants analyzed during the consolidation of fracture and the their influence in the distribution of stresses in the bone during the functioning of implant and after its removal.
Conclusions: regarding the mechanical behavior of the Dynamic Hip Screw implant and the external fixator, the most unfavorable situation was found in the first system since stresses were greater than the material's elastic limit in the lower fixation screw. A slight variation of the bone stress was noticed after placing the implant. When both implants were removed, there was a rise of compressive stresses at the borders of the holes they fixed.
