Possible reasons for early artificial bone failure in biomechanical tests of ankle arthrodesis systems

Possible reasons for early artificial bone failure in biomechanical tests of ankle arthrodesis systems

In order to demonstrate the influence of the boundary conditions in experimental biomechanical investigations of arthrodesis implants two different models were investigated. As basic model, a simplified finite element model of the cortical bone was used in order to compare the stress values with (Mo...
