Numerical Simulation of an Intramedullary Elastic Nail: Expansion Phase and Load-Bearing Behavior

Numerical Simulation of an Intramedullary Elastic Nail: Expansion Phase and Load-Bearing Behavior

The Marchetti-Vicenzi's nail is an intramedullary device where six curved nails are kept straight by a closing ring in order to allow their insertion into the medullary canal of a long bone; in a following step, these nails stabilize the fracture due to the ring withdrawal and to the consequent...
