Abstract

The main assumption of modern orthopedics and trauma surgery is to return to full fitness with a short recovery period. Unfortunately, the emergence of lifestyle diseases such as osteoporosis, which is characterized by a decrease in the biological value of bone tissue, a greater number of road accidents and related injuries to the musculoskeletal system, and the increasing expectations of people with degenerative polyarticular changes to remain mobile, have significantly increased the demand for all types of implants and prostheses.

Bone fixations pose a serious challenge for doctors, especially when the bone is also osteoporotic. Previous studies on innovative LCP plates (Locking Compression Plate), which are equipped with a special locking mechanism, show their advantage over traditional methods. They are characterized by very good bone stabilization, minimization of movement around the fracture site, faster bone growth, and consequently a shorter reconvalescence period for the patient and a greater chance of returning to full mobility.

The subject of the work is the FEM analysis for bone fixation - LCP plate. Modern medicine is constantly looking for new possibilities to increase the effectiveness and shorten the treatment time, an excellent example of which are the LCP plates discussed in the work. The main goal of the work is to select the material and parameters for the plate fixing the shin bone and to create a model of the bone-plate system.

LCP板的有限元分析

现代骨科和创伤外科的主要假设是在短时间内恢复到完全健康状态。不幸的是，骨质疏松症等生活方式疾病的出现，其特征是骨组织的生物学价值下降，道路交通事故和相关肌肉骨骼系统损伤的数量增加，以及患有退行性多关节变化的人越来越期望保持活动，这些都大大增加了对所有类型植入物和假体的需求。骨固定对医生来说是一个严峻的挑战，特别是当骨头也骨质疏松时。以往对新型LCP板（锁紧压缩板）的研究表明，LCP板配备了特殊的锁紧机构，具有传统方法无法比拟的优势。其特点是骨稳定性好，骨折部位周围活动最小，骨生长更快，因此患者康复期更短，恢复完全活动的机会更大。本工作的主题是骨固定- LCP钢板的有限元分析。现代医学不断寻找新的可能性来提高疗效和缩短治疗时间，工作中讨论的LCP板就是一个很好的例子。工作的主要目标是选择胫骨固定板的材料和参数，并建立骨-板系统的模型。

期刊介绍： Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
