Abstract

Femur, also called thighbone or hind leg in human body supports the maximum weight of the body under loading conditions. In this present work, the fractured femur bone is reconstructed using DICOM files obtained from Computed Tomography scan images using software’s 3D slicer and blender. In accordance with the crack, prosthetic plate was modelled in Unigraphics NX 11.0 version. The plate is then assembled with the fractured femur bone using Assembly module of the Unigraphics NX 11.0 version. Then Static structure Finite element Analysis was performed on the Assembly for different prosthetic plate materials like SS316L, Alumina, Nylon, Titanium, PMMA and PEEK with and without Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the prosthetic plate. It was proved in this work that best results are obtained with HA coated prosthetic plate material that means the bone healing will be much faster when prosthetic plated are coated with Hydroxyapetite
