“…5,75 For this reasons, FE simulation can help in understanding these phenomena. Gracia et al 76 studied the evolution of the mechanical stimulus over 5 years by analyzing the bone mineral density (BMD) trend during this period. Two stems were considered and their 3D models were designed from CT scans.…”

Modeling and simulation of prosthetic devices are the new tools investigated for the production of total customized prostheses. Computational simulations are used to evaluate the geometrical and material designs of a device while assessing its mechanical behavior. Data acquisition through magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or laser scanning is the first step that gives information about the human anatomical structures; a file format has to be elaborated through computer-aided design software. Computer-aided design tools can be used to develop a device that respects the design requirements as, for instance, the human anatomy. Moreover, through finite element analysis software and the knowledge of loads and conditions the prostheses are supposed to face in vivo, it is possible to simulate, analyze and predict the mechanical behavior of the prosthesis and its effects on the surrounding tissues. Moreover, the simulations are useful to eventually improve the design (as geometry, materials, features) before the actual production of the device. This article presents an extensive analysis on the use of finite element modeling for the design, testing and development of prosthesis and orthosis devices.

“…Research in various fields of orthopedic surgery and traumatology requires a methodology that makes it possible to reproduce (simulate) different situations [4][5][6][7]. This methodology can be used to study the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system both in healthy people and in patients with pathological abnormalities, as well as for modeling various prostheses and implants.…”

“…Continuous progress in the field of computing also contributes to the increasing application of mathematical modeling methods in various fields of science. The most popular for solving problems of mathematical modeling (including problems of biomechanics, orthopedics and traumatology) is the finite element method [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. This method was used to study the behavior of the humerus [3] and hip joints (Femoral Stems) [4], the problems of bone strength [5], simulate the augmentation of the hip bone (femoral bone augmentation) [6], study the features of treatment of Bennett's fractures [7], mechanical properties of the vertebrae [8] and the proximal femur [9].…”

Background: Implantation is becoming more widespread in such areas of modern medicine as orthopedics and traumatology. Due to the lack of an adequate substitute for natural bone, combined approaches are used. For older patients, the problem is exacerbated by a decrease in bone mineral density. When choosing a scheme for the surgical treatment of long bone fractures, preference is given to simple and maximally sparing approaches. In this regard, the main task of osteosynthesis is to provide optimal mechanical channels not only for the fracture healing process, but also to restore full functional capabilities in the future. The paper considers the urgent task of optimizing and increasing the efficiency of planning rehabilitation measures, including taking into account the individual characteristics of a particular patient, and the results are of fundamental and applied importance. Objectives: development of physical and mathematical models for modeling the stress-strain state of the elements of the musculoskeletal system to optimize the planning of bone surgeries when installing implants. Materials and methods. For the analysis, both specific clinical results and modern methods of computer modeling and processing of results were used. The advantage of physical and mathematical models based on the used finite element method is the possibility of optimizing the design of prostheses and reducing the problems caused by osteopenia. Results: To illustrate the proposed approach, a specific example of the treatment of a comminuted fracture of the humerus in an elderly patient is considered. To describe the physicomechanical properties of bone tissue, sets of standard data on the main characteristics of tissues and materials of implants such as elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio were used. As the bone grows together, simultaneously with a decrease in stresses, the difference between the stress on the entire structure and the stress on the bone decreases. This indicates that the bone begins to take on an increasingly significant relative part of the load, which should have a positive effect on its bone mineral density. Conclusions: The advantages of modeling using the finite element method and by non-invasive modeling of the work of the patient's musculoskeletal system with various variants of prostheses (implants) and the choice of the most optimal one are shown. It was found that the use of the Von Mises stress-strain state as a criterion for assessing the stress-strain state of the system gives effective assessments of the reliability of the structure and its elements.
