Three-dimensional finite element analysis of nitinol patellar concentrator and its clinical significance
The Nitinol Patellar Concentrator (NT-PC) was designed to treat patellar fractures. It has been successfully applied in clinic proved by a survey of 4023 cases till 1995. Three-dimensional finite element analysis for the NT-PC fixation has been carried out to show the features and advantages of the device. The results are reported in this paper.
