A new imaging algorithm is proposed to capture the kinematics of flexible, thin, light structures including frequencies and motion amplitudes for real time analysis. The studied case is a thin flexible beam that is preset at different angles of attack in a wind tunnel. As the angle of attack is increased beyond a critical value, the beam was observed to undergo a static deflection that is ensued by limit cycle oscillations. Imaging analysis of the beam vibrations shows that the motion consists of a superposition of the bending and torsion modes. The proposed algorithm was able to capture the oscillation amplitudes as well as the frequencies of both bending and torsion modes. The analysis results are validated through comparison with measurements from a piezoelectric sensor that is attached to the beam at its root.

Biomechanical assessment of Kirschner wires integrated with a novel external fixation device for treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture: a finite element analysis.

Background: Pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures present considerable surgical challenges due to the difficulty of achieving proper fracture alignment and stable fixation while avoiding injury to the ulnar nerve. This study assesses the biomechanical performance of a novel Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation device (KFD), designed to enhance stability and reduce complications linked to traditional K-wire configurations.
Methods: Using finite element analysis (FEA), we evaluated four fixation strategies for treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral simple transverse fractures: crossed pin fixation, crossed pin fixation with KFD, two lateral pin fixation, and two lateral pin fixation with KFD, under various mechanical loads.
Unicortical Versus Bicortical Proximal Locking Screw for Prevention of Peri-Implant Fracture: A Biomechanical Analysis of an Osteoporotic Distal Radius Model.

Purpose: Osteoporotic patients are at risk of peri-implant fractures after distal radius fixation. A unicortical screw in the proximal hole of the plate can theoretically decrease stress riser formation by eliminating the hole in the far bone cortex. This construct has been proposed in orthopedic literature to prevent peri-implant fractures but has not been tested in an osteoporotic distal radius model.

Objectives: Helical plating is an established method for treating proximal humeral shaft fractures, mitigating the risk of iatrogenic radial nerve damage. However, biomechanical test data on helical plates under physiological load condition is limited. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of helical and straight PHILOS Long plates in AO12C2 fractures using static and cyclic implant system testing.

Background: The use of patient-specific instruments (PSIs) for osteotomies is becoming more popular in orthopaedic surgery for correcting mechanical axis and posttraumatic deformities. However, the PSI reduction guides have great potential for intraoperative deformation, which adversely affects the accuracy of the procedure.
Purpose: To conduct a finite element analysis (FEA) to analyze different design parameters to improve the intraoperative stability of the reduction guides.
45° helical plates are a valid alternative to straight plates for treatment of proximal humeral shaft fractures.

Helical plates used for proximal humeral shaft fracture fixation avoid the radial nerve distally as compared to straight plates. To investigate in a human cadaveric model the biomechanical competence of straight lateral plates versus 45° helical plates used for fixation of proximal comminuted humeral shaft fractures, eight pairs of human cadaveric humeri were instrumented using either a long straight PHILOS plate (Group 1) or a 45° helical plate (Group 2) for treatment of an unstable proximal humeral shaft fracture. All specimens were tested under non-destructive quasi-static loading in axial compression, internal and external rotation, and bending in four directions.
