Orthopedic doctors require a bone scaffold to implant in patients who require tumor removal in their bone tissue. The benign chondroblastoma tumor located directly below the Femur and Patella and within the Fibula region. Ultimately the scaffold must act in a way such that it can simulate natural bone behavior within the knee joint.
Element type: Tetrahedron
Number of elements: 94133
Number of nodes: 103508
A parametric 3D model of a bone scaffold specific to the case study was built in SOLIDWORKS 2020 from Dassault Systems.
Principal stresses, displacement and strains were computed at all nodes of the model. Finite Element Analysis was completed through SOLIDWORKS 2020 software, from Dassault systems.
Young’s Modulus: 540 MPa
Structural stiffness: 5050 N/mm
Apparent stiffness: 249 MPa
