Biomechanical Behaviour of Double Threaded Screw in Tibia Fixation

The aim of the work was assessment of stability of tibia fixation realized with the use of double threaded screw. Biomechanical analysis of the tibia – double threaded screw system was carried our for the implant made of two biomaterials used in bone surgery – Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Finite element method was applied to calculate displacements, strains and stresses. The obtained results allowed to work out biomechanical characteristics of the analyzed system. These characteristics can be a basis for selection of degree of strain hardening of the applied metallic biomaterial and optimization of the screw’s geometry.
