This project explores the concept of "medical jewelry" by designing bone fixation plates using filigree patterns. Once a fracture heals, the plate is surgically removed and repurposed into a piece of jewelry (like a bracelet, ring, or pendant).

The core research analyzes how traditional filigree shapes—such as "SS" motifs, spirals, and scrolls—affect the plate's mechanical strength and stiffness. Using computer simulations (Finite Element Analysis) and lab tests, the study aims to find the perfect balance: a plate that is beautiful enough to become jewelry, but strong enough to ensure the bone heals correctly.
