Finite Element Meshes of the Human Humerus and Scapula
Author: Nelson Ribeiro
Date: 2009
Description: The presented finite element meshes of humerus and scapula were used to generate a computational model of an artificial shoulder that, within the Finite Element (FE) formulation, is capable of calculate wear rates in total shoulder prostheses for a certain type of arm movement. In orthopedics, FE models are able to predict pre-surgically the mechanical behavior of prosthesis. Indeed, quantitative data obtained from FE analysis may be an important resource for increasing the probability of successful therapeutic treatments, improving surgical planning, injury prevention and improving prosthesis design towards to better in vivo performances
