Bone fixation system for human bone, method of designing and manufacturing thereof

Abstract

A method of configuring a bone fixation system for a fracture of a human's long bone shaft, includes determining a fixator reference and a fixator dimension value. Determining the fixator reference is based on at least a bone reference, a fixator parameter, and the fixator dimension value. The fixator dimension value includes a function of a critical load value in accordance with a design formula, the design formula being based on a fracture parameter, a fixator parameter, and a body constraint value. The design formula is determined by searching a formula library. A plurality of design formulas are searchable by the fracture parameter, the fixator parameter, or the body constraint value.
