Abstract

The rapid advancement of the field of computer modeling of fracture implants has been driven by the demand for improved orthopedic therapies and a more profound comprehension of bone healing processes. Fracture implants are indispensable in orthopedic surgery due to their capacity to stabilize fractured bones and facilitate their recovery. A robust framework for assessing and enhancing these implants has recently been built through the advancement of computational modeling techniques. This chapter explores the computational modeling of fracture implants that are widely used in the spine, pelvis, femur bone, knee joint, and tibia bone. The finite element models of these implants are also employed to evaluate the healing process of fractures. A comprehensive overview of the many computer modeling techniques used in the research and development of fracture implants, with a focus to improve patient outcomes in the clinical setting and expand our understanding of implant biomechanics is given in the chapter.
