Geometric Models of the Human Humerus and Scapula

Author: Nelson Ribeiro

Date: 2009

Description: Humerus and scapula are the principal bones that constitute the human shoulder joint, one of the most complex joints of the entire body. 3-D anatomical models like these are used in a wide spectrum of applications, but one of the most exciting domains of its application is the biomechanical area, principally in finite element analysis. The study of the mechanical behaviour of human tissues (hard and soft tissues like bone, muscle, cartilage and ligaments) in normal, pathologic and implant conditions are just some of the applications of this vast biomedical field
