I like the concept of a...
I'm working on a prototype that would call for actuated curvilinear motion along an arc. One method I've seen before is to use a curved gear rack and an arc rail (see image). Anyone know any off-the-shelf suppliers of curved gear racks or have a better method in mind...
Thanks dhengr & tbuelna. We have already characterized the relative displacement of the two bone pieces, but trying to characterize the compression created between two bone fragments is where we'd like to go. Most papers on the subject simplify the bone structure to two "bone bricks" being...
I had a surgeon I work with ask me if I could give him the mechanical details behind how surgical compression screws for bone work (ie http://www.acumed.net/acutrak-2-mini).
