title: Application of rapid computer modeling in the analysis of the stabilization method in intraoperative femoral bone shaft fracture during revision hip arthroplasty - a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fractures of the femoral bone shaft during and after hip arthroplasty are a serious clinical problem.
  
  
  METHODS
  The paper presents the use of rapid computer modeling FEM 2D to optimize the stabilization of femoral shaft fracture in case of hip revision arthroplasty.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using the FEM modeling may be helpful for planning and assessment of orthopaedic treatment in similar cases.
