Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Fracture Mechanics

Background:

  • The proximal femur's load axis is outside the bone, inducing significant bending forces.
  • Medial cortex absorbs pressure, lateral cortex absorbs tension during physiological loading.
  • Lateral plating in transverse femur fractures faces challenges with medial buttress defects, leading to fatigue failure.
