Influence of muscle groups’ activation on proximal femoral growth tendency

Abstract: Muscle and joint contact force influence stresses at the proximal growth plate of the femur and thus bone growth, affecting the neck shaft angle (NSA) and femoral anteversion (FA). This study aims to illustrate how different muscle groups’ activation during gait affects NSA and FA development in able-bodied children. Subject-specific femur models were developed for three able-bodied children (ages 6, 7, and 11 years) using magnetic resonance images. Contributions of different muscle groups—hip flexors, hip ext… Show more

“…This file was imported to Mimics (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) to define material properties based on the masks created during the segmentation. Material properties (Fig 2) were chosen to be elastic, isotropic and homogenous, similar to previous studies [15,17]. Seven rows of elements were used to model the growth plate and ten rows of elements above and below the growth plate formed a transition zone with a linearly decreasing elastic modulus from the trabecular bone to the growth plate to represent the mineralizing bone tissue.…”

“…During the FE analysis, femoral condyles positions were fixed in all models. Using hip JCF waveforms from the musculoskeletal simulations, nine sequential load instances were defined similar to Yadav et al [17] (Fig 4). Each muscle force was applied as a concentrated force at the node closest to the point of insertion projected on the FE model.…”

“…During the same period, there were a few other FE studies on paediatric bones, with one on infants and the others on older children (6 years and above). Yadav et al (2017) investigated the effect of muscle groups' activation on the growth of femur using MRI-based FE models of femora for three children (aged 6, 7 and 11 years). Both Meng et al (2017) and Angadi et al 2015 investigated the accidental injury of older children (e.g.…”

“…In 1892, Julius Wolff 21 was the first to state the idea that the shapes of bone and joints in some way reflect their mechanical loading during life. With regard to the hip, since this time some historical 22,23 and many actual mechanobiological [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] and paleontological 34,35 studies have dealt with the so-called Wolff's law. The mechanobiological concept that function influences external shape and internal architecture of bones and joints in the meantime has been supported by much experimental and observational data.…”

“…54 Depending on the view about the importance of the greater trochanter apophysis, the pathogenesis of spastic hip decentration is much debated. 24,25,28,30,31,55,56 Children who suffer exclusively from cerebral palsy and not from a simultaneous congenital dysplasia of the hip typically have normally configured hip joints without any pathologic findings in the first months. As soon as the weakness of the spastic muscle becomes noticeable, 57 a typical cascade of pathomechanisms develop.…”
