Three-dimensional finite element model of the drilling process used for fixation of Salter–Harris type-3 fractures by using a K-wire

In this study, the drilling process was performed with Kirschner wire (K-wire) for stabilization after reduction of Salter–Harris (SH) type-3 epiphyseal fractures of distal femur. The study was investigated both experimentally and numerically. The numerical analyses were performed with finite elemen...
