%X Medical device manufacturers are supposed to establish and maintain procedures to control the design of the devices in order to ensure that specific requirements are met. The essential aspects and the regulatory requirements, such as safety, performance, and biocompatibility of a product are established during the design and development phases. Inadequate design can be a major cause of failure of medical devices. Despite a large number of reports on medical device failures, there are no authoritative guidelines for the management of orthopedic fracture fixation. A lack of consensus exists among orthopedic trauma surgeons and manufacturers in the management of these fractures. The design must ensure that devices conform to user needs and intended uses and include testing of production units under actual or simulated conditions of use. For the development of any medical device, the manufacturer needs information about the level of physiological loading. In the case of orthopedic fracture fixation, the values of loading fracture fixation devices not clearly defined in the literature and technical standards. The purpose of this paper is to provide the necessary data of physiological bone loading in the human head (mandible, maxilla, teeth, skull and middle third of the face) for the development of products used in fracture fixation.
