Unlabelled:
The main aim of this study is to present the use of bone substitutes in chronic ostheomielitis surgical treatment and its biomechanical influence.
Material And Methods:
First step is three-dimensional reconstruction to one femur using CT sections; the second is the reconstruction of infected bone volume, synthesis of material properties, synthesis of loading forces, synthesis of boundary condition and, finally, finite element analysis.
Results:
The calculated Von Mises stress as a result of finite element analysis indicates that bone substitute implantation lead to a stress distribution in bone similar with a health femur.
