“…Virtual computational models of the human pelvis have evolved as highly useful tools to assess load distribution under healthy conditions, as well as pathologically altered biomechanics (Anderson et al, 2004;Böhme et al, 2014;Bruna-Rosso et al, 2016;Eichenseer et al, 2011;Hammer et al, 2013;Hao et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2014;Phillips et al, 2007b;Shi et al, 2014;Watson et al, 2017), and to evaluate the effects of both non-surgical (Sichting et al, 2014) and surgical treatment (Böhme et al, 2012;García et al, 2000;Kurz et al, 2017). The finite elements (FE) method is commonly utilized for this purpose.…”
