Abstract:Back ground:A three-dimensional finite element model of the whole foot with high geometric similarity was established and used to simulate the conditions after whole talar prosthesis implantation with several fixation methods, including Screw fixation of subtalar+talus-navicular joint, fixation with screws at only the subtalar joint, and fixation without screws. The biomechanical characteristics of the talus prosthesis were assessed in different gait phases to guide the selection of surgical methods in clinica… Show more
