Anatomical Simulation Fracture Device of the Lower Limb

As first-year engineering students, we designed and ensembled an anatomical fracture device for the lower limb, mainly focusing on the tibia and fibula. This was made possible by using SolidWorks for 3D modeling and printing, as well as materials including ABS plastic, tattoo skin, polymer gel, artificial crystals, and polyethylene (pool noodles). The goal was for the model to accurately represent a comminuted fracture so that medical students are able to use it to gain practical learning experience. Through this project, we put into practice digital and hands-on skills that are invaluable for engineering.

Abstract

As first-year engineering students, we designed and ensembled an anatomical fracture device for the lower limb, mainly focusing on the tibia and fibula. This was made possible by using SolidWorks for 3D modeling and printing, as well as materials including ABS plastic, tattoo skin, polymer gel, artificial crystals, and polyethylene (pool noodles). The goal was for the model to accurately represent a comminuted fracture so that medical students are able to use it to gain practical learning experience. Through this project, we put into practice digital and hands-on skills that are invaluable for engineering.
