Abstract:
Objective To explore establishment and finite element analysis of personalized proximal clavicular anatomical plate screw fixation model.Methods A 40-year-old male healthy volunteer was selected and the finite element analysis modules of 3D reconstruction software Mimics 15.01,Hypermesh 2019 and Abaqus 2020 were used.The finite element model of anatomic plate at the proximal clavicle was established,and a vertical load of 250 N was applied to the distal end of long axis of clavicle about 15 mm,then the overall structure,plate and screw displacement cloud image,Mises stress distribution were ob-served.Results The displacement distribution of the overall structure shows the maximum displacement was distributed on the distal clavicle.Under the four conditions of normal upper limb weight,longitudinal clavicle fracture,oblique fracture and shoulder impact violence during fall,longitudinal clavicle fracture and oblique fracture,the maximum displacement were 1.04 mm,1.03 mm,1.35 mm and 1.33 mm,respectively.The displacement cloud map of titanium alloy steel plate showed the largest displacement was distributed near the distal clavicular bone,and the maximum displacement were 0.89 mm,0.88 mm,1.10 mm and 1.09 mm,respectively.The displacement cloud map of titanium alloy screw showed the largest displacement was distribut-ed at the root of the distal screw,and the maximum displacement were 0.88 mm,0.87 mm,1.08 mm and 1.06 mm,respectively.Mises stress distribution showed the maximum stress was mainly distributed on titanium alloy plates and screws,and the stress on the clavicle was very small.Mises stress distribution cloud showed the maximum Mises stress was distributed at the second row of screw holes near the clavicle,and the maximum Mises stress were 673.1,678.1,648.5,654.4 MPa,respectively.The maximum stresses of titanium alloy screws were 414.5,417.4,415.8 and 419.7 MPa,respectively.Conclusion The biomechan-ical changes of personalized proximal clavicular anatomical plates are demonstrated by using 3D finite element method to pro-vide biomechanical data for personalized proximal clavicular anatomical plates.
