INTRODUCTION: Currently, the T-shaped titanium Tomofix bone plate is the most commonly used internal fixation bone plate in Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). However, the modulus of elasticity of the hard titanium alloy plate does not match the modulus of elasticity of the human cortical bone, resulting in a large "stress shielding effect." At the same time, HTO bone plates have a certain elasticity of demand.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, the classical mechanical properties of carbon fibre/Kevlar composite plates were tested in bending, tensile and compression with different weaves ((plain weave/twill weave/W-weave/I-weave) and thicknesses. The biomechanical results after internal fixation of titanium and carbon fibre/Kevlar composite HTO bone plates of three different thicknesses (2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3.0 mm) were analyzed and compared using the finite element analysis (FEA) method, and their biocompatibility was investigated by the cell proliferation assay, and the analysis of live/dead staining activity.
RESULTS: The combination of mechanical strength and toughness of the 2.0 mm thick twill weave carbon fibre/Kevlar composite bone plate showed the best performance and a modulus of elasticity of 44.5 GPa.The finite element simulation shows that the 2.0 mm thick twill carbon fibre/Kevlar elastic composite bone graft plate has the best effect in reducing the "stress shielding effect". In addition, the carbon fibre/Kevlar material has good biocompatibility, and it does not react with hemolysis.
CONCLUSION: The 2.0 mm twill weave carbon fibre/Kevlar elastic composite bone plate has sufficient strength and excellent toughness, and its modulus of elasticity is more compatible with human cortical bone, which fully meets the special demand for elasticity of HTO bone plate and at the same time, reduces the "stress shielding effect" with the best effect. Therefore, carbon fibre/Kevlar composites have great potential in the application of HTO bone plates.
