ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The biomechanical features of arch-dental shape memory connector designed for fractures in pelvis or the parts adjacent to joints are analyzed through biomechanical calculation and experimental measurements.OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relationship between the changes in shape of arch-dental shape memory connector and the load on it.DESIGN:
Both biomechanical calculation and the experimental measurement were conducted for mutual supplementation and confirmation.SETTING:
The Orthopedic Department of Changhai Hospital Affiliated to the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA and the Life Science and Bioengineering College of Tongji University.MATERIALSThe trial was conducted from at Shanghai Changhai Hospital and Life Science Laboratory of Tongji University from April 2002 to April 2004. The subjects were arch-dental shape memory connectors.METHODS:
We calculated the stress in and around the fracture face produced by arch-dental shape memory connector according to Moire principle and we also measured the changes in the shape of arch-dental shape memory connector. The relationship between load and the changes in the shape of arch-dental shape memory connector was explored.MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
To explore whether the results of biomechanical calculation and those of the experimental measurement are consistent.RESULTS:
Biomechanical calculation found that the relationship between the load (P) and the displacement(δ) in arch-dental shape memory connector was P = 13.69δ. The experimental measurement found that the load on the connector and the displacement were in a linear relationship.CONCLUSION:
The relationship between the load and the displacement in arch-dental shape memory connector was linear within its elastic range and the biomechanical calculation results were consistent with the results of the experimental measurement.
