NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF STRESSES OF THE FEMORAL NECK – PLANE MODELING

Abstract:
The femoral bone is positioned between the hip joint and the knee joint, the upper extrimity taking on the bodies weight that is transmitted by the vertebral column to the pelvis.
The femoral bone fractures occur in the femoral neck region. The paper wants to show the state of stresses and the displacements that take place during the compression load in the femoral neck area – plane modelling.
Were approached three cases: 1) the femoral neck is not sectioned; 2) in the fractured area two screws are introduced, both having equal diameters; 3) the reconstruction is achieved with 3 screws of different diameters.
The study uses finite element method (RDM) and Digital Correlation System (DIC).
