Figure 1. Finite element analysis (FEA) model of bone and tenting screws covered with membrane when axial forces were applied. Figure 2. Von Misses stress results in bone when vertical loading was applied. Figure 3. Von Misses stress in the tenting screw when vertical loading was applied. Figure 4. FEA model of bone and tenting screws covered with membrane when off-axial forces were applied. Figure 5. Von Misses stress results in bone when off-axial loading (45 degree) was applied. Figure 6. Von Misses stress in the tenting screw when off-axial loading (45 degree) was applied.
