Abstract:The study shows that the tension/compression stress flows are geometrically similar with the tension/compression trabecular architectures in sagittal sections of metatarsal and calcaneus. The FE predictions of stress/strain concentration on metatarsals and fascia are useful in enhancing biomechanical knowledge on metatarsal stress fractures and plantar fasciitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
