Abstract:
Serious femoral damages are a common human bone disease. Rebuilding the femur and studying its mechanical properties are a continuous medical research topic, but traditional femoral prosthesis often cause some problems such as prosthesis loosening. In this work, we selected a healthy male, took his femur scanning by CT, and rebuilt high-precision femur prototypes by Mimics10.0 software, then chose the material having good biocompatibility and biodegradable, utilizing low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) technology for the femoral manufacturing. This approach, fabricating the femur via LDM technology, laid a foundation for the later research on the femoral implantation in the human body.
