Statistical Shape Modeling to Quantify Variation in the Proximal Humeral Anatomy
… The objective of this thesis was to develop a Statistical Shape Model (SSM) of the cortical and cancellous bone regions of the proximal humerus, and to assess potential shape differences with gender and ethnicity, with a goal of informing implant design. An SSM was used and Principal Component …

Assessing the Impact of Femur Morphological Variations on Pediatric Hip Joint Biomechanics Using Statistical Shape Modeling
… hip joint center estimation errors. A shape statistical model (SSM) of decedent infant femurs from the Ortolani collection was created using ShapeWorks, capturing key morphological features, such as variations in the femoral neck-shaft and anteversion angles. Seven synthetic femurs were …

Late Complications in the Descending Aorta Following Valve-Sparing Root Replacement (VSRR) in Marfan Syndrome (MFS) Patients: A Computational Analysis
… fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations alongside statistical shape modeling (SSM) to investigate the relationships between aortic geometry, hemodynamic indices, and post-surgical dissection risk. We retrospectively analyze CT imaging of a cohort of MFS patients who underwent root surgery, divided …

Explicit Finite Element Modeling of Knee Mechanics During Simulated Dynamic Activities
… developed through a combined mesh morphing and statistical shape modeling approach. These studies included several novel methods for investigating knee mechanics under dynamic loading and specimen-specific soft tissue constraint using the explicit FE method that could be used to better reproduce …

Prediction of Root Form Using Crown Data: Mandibular Left First Premolar
… The purpose of this study was to determine if a statistical shape model (SSM) of the lower left first premolar, consisting of both crown and root data, could adequately describe the root form from a surface scan consisting of only crown data. Secondly, it tested if there were any angles or …

Statistical Modeling to Investigate Anatomy and Function of the Knee
… in this dissertation is a demonstration of statistical modeling approaches to evaluate population variability in anatomy of the knee and function of its tibiofemoral (TF) and patellofemoral (PF) joints. Three-dimensional (3D) computational models of the bone and cartilage in the knee were …
