Individualized Determination of the Mechanical Fracture Environment After Tibial Exchange Nailing—A Simulation-Based Feasibility Study

Non-union rate after tibial fractures remains high. Apart from largely uncontrollable biologic, injury, and patient-specific factors, the mechanical fracture environment is a key determinant of healing. Our aim was to establish a patient-specific simulation workflow to determine the mechanical fract...
