Design considerations for patient-specific bone fixation plates
A literature review
In orthopedic surgery, patient-specific bone plates are used for fixation when conventional bone plates do not fit the specific anatomy of a patient. However, plate failure can occur due to a lack of properly established design parameters that support optimal biomechanical proper

3D printed patient-specific fixation plates for the treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Topology optimization vs. conventional design
Orthopedic plates are commonly used after osteotomies for temporary fixation of bones. Patient-specific plates have recently emerged as a promising fixation device. However, it is unclear how various strategies used for the design of such plates perform in comparison with each ot
