In this packed episode of BoardCast, we tackle the engineering behind orthopedic repair — focusing on the forces that implants face, the frames surgeons build to control them, and how failures happen when mechanics are mismatched to biology.

Topics covered:

• Stress-strain behavior of materials and how it dictates implant function
• Load-sharing vs. load-bearing constructs: when the implant helps, and when it carries everything
• Biomechanics of cerclage wire, IM pins, interlocking nails, and locking plates
• Plate modes: compression, neutralization, buttress, and bridging
• Plate-rod combinations and how to balance stiffness vs. healing motion
• A board-style case + flashcard-style recap to test retention

Perfect for anyone studying orthopedic mechanics or looking to understand why some repairs work—and others don’t.
