Abstract: The load transfer mechanism across the skeleton of the human foot is very important to understand its biomechanical function. In this work, we develop several computational models to compare the biomechanical response of different metatarsal geometries. Finite element 3D simulations of feet reconstructed from computer tomography (CT) scans were used to evaluate the stress/strain distributions during the stance posture. The numerical predictions for pathological and healthy foot geometries present different loa… Show more

“…Finite-element modelling is a well-known and useful tool for quantitative evaluation of biomechanical performance of tissues, organs and articular joints (Wilson et al, 2005;Stolk et al, 2003;Peñ a et al, 2007;Rodríguez et al, 2008), particularly in the foot (Cheung et al, 2005;Gefen, 2002Gefen, , 2003Bandak et al, 2001;García-Aznar et al, 2007, 2009). It has been used specifically for preoperative planning and surgery assessment in many different applications (Peñ a et al, 2006;Raminaraka et al, 2005;Gó mezBenito et al, 2005).…”
