This study demonstrates a new method for quantifying thread engagement in mechanical connections and verifies its applicability using biomedical implants under push-out tests. The focus is on orthopedic plate implants employed for bone fracture fixat...
Patient-specific Ti–6Al–4V fixation systems are increasingly used to stabilise the maxilla following segmental Le Fort I osteotomy; however, the biomechanical responses of complete locking and non-locking patient-specific fixation configu...
Polyaxial locking systems are widely used for strategic surgical placement, particularly in cases of osteoporotic bones, comminuted fractures, or when avoiding pre-existing prosthetics. However, studies suggest that polyaxiality negatively impacts sy...

Maxillofacial trauma caused by firearms has considerably increased, in which the mandibular body is the site of highest incidence of firearm projectiles. In these cases, the use of titanium plates and screws allows the early restoration of form and f...
The Cone Morse (CM) implant-abutment junction is designed to improve screw mechanics and minimize bacterial leakage through a process known as “cold fusion”. This research evaluated a clinically stable self-locking CM implant that was ret...
This study proposes a novel titanium 3D printing patient-specific implant: a lightweight structure with enough biomechanical strength for a distal femur fracture with segmental large defect using nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis. CT scanning im...
