    CASE STUDY OF A DISTAL FEMUR TI6Al4V LOCKED COMPRESSION PLATE FAILURE SURFACE INVESTIGATION AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2024) Can, Murat; Oymak, Mehmet Akif; Koluacik, Serdar; Bahce, Erkan; Uzunyol, Omer Faruk
    In this study, the failure of locking compression plates (LCP) used in the treatment of bone fractures resulting from falls in orthopedic patients at Malatya Training and Research Hospital was investigated. The researchers examined the fracture surface of the failed Ti6Al4V LCP using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) images. The fracture pattern of the plate caused by the fall was replicated in a computer-aided design (CAD) model, obtained through three-dimensional (3D) scanning. Additionally, a CAD model of the femur bone was created using magnetic resonance (MR) images. The assembled images of the replicated fracture and the femur bone were used to simulate the application of locked and unlocked compression screws. Considering the weight-bearing load on a human femur, a linear load of 1200 N and 300 N iliopsoas 300 N abductor 600 N hip contact and 70 N tensor fascia latea walking loads had been applied using finite element analysis (FEA). The researchers analyzed the total deformations, von Mises stress, and principal stresses of the plate. When FEA was conducted with walking and body forces applied, it was observed that the walking forces resulted in a 20% higher von Mises stress and a 22.5% greater total deformation 15% low cycle fatigue compared to the body force. During the analysis with walking forces applied, it was noticed that the maximum von Mises stresses on the LCP and the point where fatigue initiation began coincided with the fracture site of the LCP in the patient's body. However, this observation was in contrast to the analysis with body loads applied.

    Finite element analysis of lattice designed lumbar interbody cage based on the additive manufacturing
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Bozyigit, Bulent; Oymak, Mehmet Akif; Bahce, Erkan; Uzunyol, Omer Faruk
    Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, which facilitate the production of complex structures with different geometries, have been used in producing interbody cages in recent years. In this study, the effects of Ti6Al4V alloy interbody lattice designed fusion cages between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae where degenerative disc diseases occur were investigated using the finite element method. Face centered cubic (FCC), body centered cubic (BCC), and diamond structures were selected as the lattice structure suitable for the interbody cage. A kidney shaped interbody lumbar cage was designed. The designated lattice structures were selected by adjusting the cell sizes suitable for the designed geometry, and the mesh configuration was made by the lumbar lattice structure. 400N Axial force and 7.5 N.m moments were applied to the spine according to lateral bending, flexion, and torsion. 400N axial force and 7.5 N.m flexion moment is shown high strain and total deformation then lateral bending and torsion on BCC FCC and diamond lattice structured interbody cages. In addition, the effects of lattice structures under high compression forces were investigated by applying 1000N force to the lattice structures. When von Mises stresses were examined, lower von Mises stress and strains were observed in the BCC structure. However, a lower total deformation was observed in the FCC. Due to the design of the BCC and the diamond structure, it is assumed that bone implant adhesion will increase. In the finite element analysis (FEA), the best results were shown in BCC structures.
