“…As a result, composite materials, such as nanofiller reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) and carbon fibre composites, [23][24][25][26][27][28] are explored to improve the strength of the polymer, where ceramics, metal and fibres are added. Among these, the most clinically developed composite is carbon fibre reinforced PEEK (CFR-PEEK), which is a composite made of continuous or discontinuous carbon fibres embedded in a PEEK matrix.…”

Metal and its alloys have been predominantly used in fracture fixation for centuries, but new materials such as composites and polymers have begun to see clinical use for fracture fixation during the past couple of decades. Along with the emerging of new materials, tribological issues, especially debris, have become a growing concern for fracture fixation plates. This article for the first time systematically reviews the most recent biomechanical research, with a focus on experimental testing, of those plates within ScienceDirect and PubMed databases. Based on the search criteria, a total of 5449 papers were retrieved, which were then further filtered to exclude nonrelevant, duplicate or non-accessible full article papers. In the end, a total of 83 papers were reviewed. In experimental testing plates, screws and simulated bones or cadaver bones are employed to build a fixation construct in order to test the strength and stability of different plate and screw configurations. The test set-up conditions and conclusions are well documented and summarised here, including fracture gap size, types of bones deployed, as well as the applied load, test speed and test ending criteria. However, research on long term plate usage was very limited. It is also discovered that there is very limited experimental research around the tribological behaviour particularly on the debris’ generation, collection and characterisation. In addition, there is no identified standard studying debris of fracture fixation plate. Therefore, the authors suggested the generation of a suite of tribological testing standards on fracture fixation plate and screws in the aim to answer key questions around the debris from fracture fixation plate of new materials or new design and ultimately to provide an insight on how to reduce the risks of debris-related osteolysis, inflammation and aseptic loosening.

“…Composite plates (CPs) are being widely utilized in various engineering fields due to their lightweight and high stiffness property [1][2][3]. However, many vibration damages and fatigue problems often occur in these structures because many of them work in harsh dynamic conditions [4][5][6]. Damping coating (DC) is one of the advanced surfacing materials exhibiting an extensive application prospect since it has the advantages of low cost, high vibration reduction, and strong corrosion resistance, etc [7,8].…”

This study performs both theoretical and experimental studies on the vibration resistance of composite plates with damping coating subjected to impulse excitation load. A dynamic model is first proposed and the key differential equations are derived to solve the natural frequencies, time-domain vibration response, and dynamic stiffness at any vibration response point regarding the excitation point of such a coated structure. Then, a dynamic experiment system of two plate specimens with and without DC knocked by a hammer excitation is set up. The measured data indicates that the proposed dynamic model is trustworthy for predicting natural frequencies and dynamic stiffness results. Furthermore, based on the calculated dynamic stiffness data associated with the first four modes, the anti-vibration contribution of DC is quantitatively evaluated. It can be found that the coating can indeed improve the vibration resistance of the structure by up to 74.7%. In addition, the vibration suppression effect of DC is found to be closely related to the mode order of such a structure as well as the selected boundary condition.

“…Also, Ahmed et al investigated mechanical properties, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses, degradation and pH changing studies of PLA/phosphate glass fiber reinforced stiffness and strength of this composite fixation plate and suggested that GF/PP can be used to construct a fixation plate under body fluid condition. Also, Liesmaki et al investigated three-point and four-point bending of the composite fixation plate using experimental and numerical methods[22]. In their study, they used plates made with Bisphenolaglycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA)/Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate TEGDMA matrix reinforced with different types of glass fiber.…”

Mechanical properties and manufacturing processes of Glass Fiber/Polypropylene (GF/PP) composites for application of flexible internal long bone fracture fixation plates have been investigated. PP/Short Chopped Glass Fiber (PPSCGF), PP/Long Glass Fiber (PPLGF) and PP/Long Glass Fiber Yarn (PPLGFY) were used in fabrication of the fixation plates. The PPSCGF and PPLGF plates were made by the heat-compressing process and Three-dimensional (3D) printing method was used to make the PPLGFY ones. The values of Young’s modulus, tensile strength, flexural modulus and strength, and impact strength of the PPSCGF in the fiber longitudinal direction were found to be [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa, [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa and [Formula: see text]kJ/m2, respectively. Where, these values for the PPLGF were to [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa, [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa, and [Formula: see text]kJ/m2 and for the PPLGFY were to [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa, [Formula: see text]GPa, [Formula: see text]MPa and [Formula: see text]kJ/m2. These have been found to be in close agreement with the human bone properties. Furthermore, the strength and modulus values of the plates were reasonable to be used as a bone implant applicable for bone fracture reconstructions. Hence, the study concluded that the GF/PP composites are useful for load-bearing during daily activities and would be recommended as a choice in orthopedic fixation plate applications. It will help the researchers for development of new fixation designs and the clinicians for better patient’s therapy in future.
