1. A method of configuring a bone fixation system for a fracture of a human's long bone shaft, said method comprising
determining a fixator reference and a fixator dimension value,
wherein determining said fixator reference is based on at least: a bone reference, a fixator parameter, and said fixator dimension value;
wherein said fixator dimension value comprises a function of a critical load value in accordance with a design formula, said design formula being based on a fracture parameter, a fixator parameter, and a body constraint value; and
wherein the design formula is determined by searching a formula library wherein a plurality of design formulas are searchable by the fracture parameter, the fixator parameter, or the body constraint value.
