A method to investigate the biomechanical alterations in Perthes’ disease by hip joint contact modeling

Abstract: Perthes' disease is a destructive hip joint disorder characterized by malformation of the femoral head in young children. While the morphological changes have been widely studied, the biomechanical effects of these changes still need to be further elucidated. The objective of this study was to develop a method to investigate the biomechanical alterations in Perthes' disease by finite element (FE) contact modeling using MRI. The MRI data of a unilateral Perthes' case was obtained to develop the three-dimensiona… Show more

“…The range of procedures available is virtually limitless because we can operate in a virtual environment free from the constraints of time and ethical considerations. Other authors have employed these methods to investigate various hip-related conditions, such as femoral head epiphyseolysis (SCFE), Perthes disease, and spastic hip [32].…”
