Mathematical and experimental studies on the mechanics of plated transverse fractures
Abstract
A combined experimental and mathematical stress analysis approach to study the mechanics of a plated transverse fracture is described. Experimental results were obtained by placing strain gages on an equine third metacarpal and a bone plate. Two mathematical models for the mechanics of a bone and bone plate are presented. One is based on simple beam bending theory. The other is based on a more refined finite element representation for the …
