Linear and nonlinear finite element analysis of the pin-bone interfaces for 6-pin unilateral external fixation /

External fixation consists of external bars attached by clamps to pins which are inserted into the bone. These devices are popular in orthopedics, although pin loosening is one of the most frequent complications with these applications. This failure can result from biological processes or when shear...
