Abstract

The treatment of large bone defects often requires the use of an external fixator. However, these fixators present some limitations in terms of pain, morbidity and risk of infection. This paper presents a novel functional brace, being designed to be an alternative to current external fixation devices. Main design requirements are presented in this paper aiming at improving performance and comfort, and reducing costs and weight. The functional brace was tested under impact using finite element analysis (FEA).
