Abstract:AIM: This in-vitro study investigated arthroscopic suture anchors’ main design parameters effect on surrounding bone.
METHODS: Thirty-dimensional arthroscopic suture anchor designs’ models were created on engineering CAD software by changing thread profile, pitch, and anchor tip profile as design parameters. These models were imported into ANSYS Workbench for finite element analysis. Bone was simplified and modeled as two coaxial cylinders. Tensile vertical load of 300 N, and oblique at 45º to the vertical a… Show more
