Morphometric study of the human pelvis

Geometrical personalisation of human FE model using palpable markers on volunteers

“…The THUMS personalisation was carried out using a method based on radial basis function (RBF; Buhmann 2003) which is widely spread to personalise FE meshes using control points (Besnault et al 1998;Bertrand et al 2006;Serre et al July 2006;Vezin and Berthet November 2009). Its ability to generate models of the rib cage from bony landmarks has been demonstrated by Vezin and Berthet (November 2009), but also in previous studies Serre et al July 2006), which considered external landmarks of HUMOS2 50th percentile male FE model to create the small female and the large male models.…”

Clavicle Fracture Prediction: Simulation of Shoulder Lateral Impacts With Geometrically Personalized Finite Elements Models

“…Some methods of interpolation 13,14 have already been successfully applied in the biomechanical field for the geometrical personalization of FE models such as pelvis models. 15 It was then attempted to use an interpolation method to personalize shoulder bone geometry to adapt the 50th percentile male FE model according to individual characteristics.…”
