Finite Element Analysis of Existing and Modified Intramedullary Rod for Orthopedic Applications
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been used in the field of biomedical engineering and especially in biomechanics, which helps to predict and validate feasible designs for complex cases. The role of biomechanics has grown steadily in the field of orthopedic surgery. For example, fixation was perform...
