Abstract:
In this wok predetermined to analyze the design of circular external fixation system for bone joining. It is a fixation system where threaded pins are connecting in the bone. This internal wires pass through the cortex on either side of the medulla space, and only a few ‘mm’ of the internal wire tip should protrudes through the distal cortex. The usual complications of this fixation system are loosening of the wires. These internal rods deform and in turn distorts the bone. To avoid the stress on the bone, the fixation technique is analyzed and the mechanical behavior of the circular fixation device is developed. The stresses related is the present fixation and the stress after redesign are to be studied. The aluminum material is used for connecting rod, wire bolt, nut, bolt, internal wire. Nowadays, they are using stainless steel as a material and it can create high weight, high pain, and high cure time. So the carbon fiber material is used for this fixation, and it can create less weight, less pain, and less cure time. The new design and materials of fixation will in our analysis can be used carbon fixation at a cone it will decrease the stress, strain of the body and weight also decreased. It will increase comfortably of the body, while walking. The fixation is designed using Solid edge V20 and analyzed using ANSYS 16.0.
