Further, customized implant of HydroxyapatitePolyetheretherketone (HAPEEK) material for this damaged bone is prepared using CAD modeling. Damaged bone and implant have been assembled to prepare the intact bone. This assembled model has been analyzed to evaluate the stresses and deformation developed during the static loading. It has been observed that these stresses and deformation are very less thus imply that the proposed method of preparing implant is appropriate. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 162, 2020</index> </article>
