Abstract
The Nitinol shape memory bone plates have a huge potential for improving the treatment of long shaft fractures by allowing for the increase, decrease or incremental change of implant stiffness in fracture stabilization. However, the interaction between design, material properties, and manufacturing processes need to be carefully considered for each specific application to achieve optimum function of SMA-based, stiffness altering, fracture-fixation implants.
