Finite-Element-Guided Design of Metallic and Bioresorbable Bone Screws: Linking Thread Geometry, Material Stiffness, and ACL Screw Mechanics

Abstract Bone screw fixation is governed by the thread geometry, material stiffness, contact friction, and loading path. Here, a staged finite-element workflow was used to screen bone-screw designs for bone-to-bone and ACL fixation. Two-dimensional models rapidly compared thread...
