Intrinsic Interactions of Human Bones Loaded during Daily Activities

Carlos N Elias, Daniel J Fernandes and José Eduardo May

Standard specifications for orthopedic devices that are implanted in the human body include requirements for materials, finishing, marking, care and handling, but do not address the mechanical properties required for each type of implant. Insufficient mechanical strength is the cause of failure of medical devices. For the development of any implantable device, manufacturers demand information about the load to which the device will be subjected. In the case of fracture fixation, information is often missing. This review presents relevant information regarding biomechanics and common loads, moments and stress related to the intrinsic relation between human bones during daily activities. Results that arose from these calculations are expected to be stood by medical devices when outlined for stabilization of bone fractures
