Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The biomechanical features of arch-dental shape memory connector designed for fractures in pelvis or the parts adjacent to joints are analyzed through biomechanical calculation and experimental measurements.OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the changes in shape of arch-dental shape memory connector and the load on it.DESIGN: Both biomechanical calculation and the experimental measurement were conducted for mutual supplementation and confirmation.SETTING: The Orthopedic Department of Changhai Hospital Affiliated to the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA and the Life Science and Bioengineering College of Tongji University.MATERIALS:The trial was conducted from at Shanghai Changhai Hospital and Life Science Laboratory of Tongji University from April 2002 to April 2004. The subjects were arch-dental shape memory connectors.METHODS: We calculated the stress in and around the fracture face produced by arch-dental shape memory connector according to Moire principle and we also measured the changes in the shape of arch-dental shape memory connector. The relationship between load and the changes in the shape of arch-dental shape memory connector was explored.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: To explore whether the results of biomechanical calculation and those of the experimental measurement are consistent.RESULTS: Biomechanical calculation found that the relationship between the load (P) and the displacement(δ) in arch-dental shape memory connector was P = 13.69δ. The experimental measurement found that the load on the connector and the displacement were in a linear relationship.CONCLUSION: The relationship between the load and the displacement in arch-dental shape memory connector was linear within its elastic range and the biomechanical calculation results were consistent with the results of the experimental measurement.
