Finite Element Analysis in Orthopaedics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Predicting the stress state in bones is important to the understanding of bone remodeling and the long-term reliability of total joint implants. Beam theory, 2-D and 3-D finite element analysis have been used to calculate stress distributions. These finite element analyses of bone structures are progressing from crude models for which the clinical relevance has been questioned to an important tool which is necessary to understand stress related bone changes.
