Finite Element and One Point Fixation

December 27, 2023 updated by: Shaimaa Mohsen, Fayoum University

Role of Finite Element Analysis for Selection of Single Point Fixation in Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture

  • A cone beam CT (CBCT) scan of the patient, will be used to create a 3D scanned image of ZMC
  • 3D images will be introduced to finite element (FA)software to evaluate Stresses (MPa) and Life time (cycle) For each model and determine which point of fixation is the best
  • After application this point of fixation on the patient
  • Finite element analysis will be done again to verify the previous results

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: finite arm

A cone beam CT (CBCT) scan of the patient will be used to create a 3D scanned image of zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture (ZMC)

  • 3D images will be introduced to finite element (FA) software to evaluate Stresses (MPa), Micromotion (microns), and Life time (cycle) For each model and determine which point of fixation is the best
  • After application this point of fixation on the patient
  • Finite element analysis will be done again to verify the previous results

Stresses by megapascal (MPa)
Time Frame: immediately after procedure
stress on the plate will be measured for each point of application by finite element (FA) software
immediately after procedure
