Abstract :Intramedullary nailing is a widely accepted technique utilized in the treatment of femoral fractures. Design of such devices should be accomplished based on physiological constraints, and loading of the femur, simulating in vivo conditions to prevent bone refracture and implant failure after surgical operation. It has been shown in literature that, walking is the most frequent dynamic activity of a patient, which necessitates testing implants mainly under walking loading conditions. In the present study, the response of the implanted femur having femoral mid-fracture as well as the intact femur were investigated at the instance of maximum hip contact force of the gait cycle in a finite element environment. Displacement and strain distribution on both bone- implant construct and intact bone were presented. The results may lead to an accurate estimation of the implants mechanical behavior in design stage, and be used in fatigue based analyses.
