چکیده
Current bone repair implants for use within the body are made from metals [1, 2], which have disadvantages such as stress shielding and can remain in the body permanently. In addition, a fractured bone fixated with a metal plate may re-fracture upon removal of the implant [3].This is due to the fact that bone does not carry sufficient load during the healing process. Recently, a move towards degradable composite materials for bone repair applications (to replace metal plate equivalents) has been viewed as extremely favourable [4, 5]. The main objective of these composite plates would be to degrade not only in vivo but also to take an active part in the tissue regeneration process.

Optimisation of composite bone plates for ulnar transverse fractures.
Metallic bone plates are commonly used for arm bone fractures where conservative treatment (casts) cannot provide adequate support and compression at the fracture site. These plates, made of stainless steel or titanium alloys, tend to shield stress transfer at the fracture site and delay the bone healing rate. This study investigates the feasibility of adopting advanced composite materials to o...
