Abstract
Several fractures that occur in the human body depend on trauma or as a result of hormonal and bone fatigue. Fracture types that take place out of the neck area of the femoral bone are named femoral shaft fractures. Femoral shaft fractures are frequent conditions in orthopedics. Conventional plating method is a method that necessitates the fixation of the contact surface by contacting the epiphyses used in the treatment of such fractures. This method is known to be efficent in speeding up the healing process by reducing the movement between the epiphyses. In this study, femur models which are plated in various forms with fractures were analyzed with computer-aided finite element software and stresses on bone surfaces and fracture surfaces were determined. It is aimed to determine the best result by examining the relationship between the inputs such as the number of screws used during plating, the fixation area and material selection and the outputs obtained by finding the stresses on the bone surface and stresses on the broken surfaces.
