Elbow Joint Contact Mechanics: Multibody and Finite Element Methods
… and provides a smooth articulation for the joint. Better understanding of elbow cartilage contact mechanics can provide a valuable insight into cartilage degeneration mechanisms and osteoarthritis development. Computational modeling is a very efficient tool that helps us gain better …

A Clearer Picture of Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Knee and Thumb Through the Lens of Image-Based Finite Element Analysis
… subchondral bone cysts (SBCs). The equine stifle joint provides a natural animal model for studying SBCs. Finite element models were used to examine three cyst sizes of approximately 0.03 cm3 (C1), 0.5 cm3 (C2), and 1 cm3 (C3) in the equine stifle joint. Fluid pressure was simulated by using a …

The Contribution of the Ligaments in Flatfoot Deformity, A Finite Element Study
… osteoarthritis of the midfoot or hindfoot joints leading to a fixed deformity and some even develop ankle arthritis. It was initially thought that dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT) leads to the PCFD. However, later studies revealed that the degeneration of the arch and …

The Influence of Frontal and Axial Plane Deformities on Contact Mechanics during Squatting: A Finite Element Study
Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Lower limb malalignment was a risky factor leading to KOA, altering the load distributions. This study aimed to study the influence of knee deformities on knee contact mechanics and knee …
