A finite element model to study the torsional fracture strength of a composite tibia
Screws are common orthopaedic hardware used to secure a fractured bone. After the bone has healed, the screws may be removed, and the vacant screw holes introduce a potential site for re-fracture, which is a known complication. The current study simulated a laboratory torsional fracture test of a co...
