Finite element analysis of osteosynthesis screw fixation in the bone stock: an appropriate method for automatic screw modelling.

The use of finite element analysis (FEA) has grown to a more and more important method in the field of biomedical engineering and biomechanics. Although increased computational performance allows new ways to generate more complex biomechanical models, in the area of orthopaedic surgery, solid modell...
