Comparison of the conventional loading case on femur with Pauwels type III fracture with force reduction loading: A finite element study

The application of finite element method in interdisciplinary sciences such as biomedical engineering has been quite common in the last few decades. Treatment of intracapsular hip fractures such as femoral neck fracture of Pauwels type III still remains a challenging matter, given the fact that this disease nowadays involves more than 50% of all proximal femoral fractures. While creating an internal fixation device for that matter, it is necessary to conduct experimental tests. The goal of simulations is to select the crucial device test loads and setups, i.e., to reduce the cost and time consumption of the tests. While most authors use a very primitive form of model loading in their simulations, this study uses two types of femur’s loading cases (climbing stair and walking) and compares two mechanically equivalent force loadings with their amounts.
