Design, Modeling, Additive Manufacturing, and Polishing of Stiffness-Modulated Porous Nitinol Bone Fixation Plates Followed by Thermomechanical and Composition Analysis

The use of titanium bone fixation plates is considered the standard of care for skeletal reconstructive surgery. Highly stiff titanium bone fixation plates provide immobilization immediately after the surgery. However, after the bone healing stage, they may cause stress shielding and lead to bone re...
