abstract = {Problem statement: Human femur fracture is one of the most frequent type of bone
fractures. One of the widely used methods in an internal fixation is an application of the Dynamic
Compression Plate (DCP). The configuration of the screw fixation plays a major role of the DCP
stress. Approach: This research is proposed to investigate the stress distribution in the 14-hole DCP
by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), eight configurations of the screw fixation with the body
weight of 50 and 70 kg. The maximum von Mises stress on the DCP in each configuration is used to
find the best of the screw fixations. The equations of the maximum von Mises stress are formulated by
the regression analysis. Results: The experimental results show that the relation of the maximum von
Mises stress and the number of screws are the linear equation. Conclusion: The maximum von Mises
stress from FEA could be predicted by using the linear equation.},
