  By Jong-Min Choe, Hyo Sim, Mun-Sik Ko, Yong-Gun Jo, Dong-Won Mun, Song-Gun Pak

  Abstract: Background: Small external fixators are used mainly for fractures of the distal radius and forearm as well as for fractures in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate biomechanical properties of external fixation in radial shaft fractures under loads including AP (anterior-posterior) bending, torsion and axial compression. Method: Biomechanical analysis was performed using 3D geometrical and FEM (Finite Element Method) models of the radial shaft fractures …
