ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

At present,there are many established femoral finite element studies,but previous studies focused on femoral biomechanics of the outside are few.

OBJECTIVE:

To establish three-dimensional finite element model of structure of the proximal femur,and to analyze its biomechanics in normal standing position to provide reasonable evidence for clinical application.DESIGN,TIME AND

SETTING:

A three-dimensional finite element model analysis was performed in General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from December 2008 to April 2009.

PARTICIPANTS:

One male volunteer aged 30 years was enrolled at General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University.Femur lesion or injury was excluded by means of X-ray.

METHODS:

The primitive femur CT data were adopted according to Dicom 3.0 standard in Mimics so as to obtain the primitive three-dimensional femur model which was established via threshold defining,region enlarging and morphological performing.The primitive model was remeshed and combined with ANSYS software to create a final finite-element model.The model obtained by using the Mimics was loaded with 200 N vertical loading to check out the difference of the stress distribution.MAIN OUTCOME

MEASURES:

Using 200 N as the external load in the vertical direction,the Vonmises stress distribution of the femur was detected.

RESULTS:

The applications of Mimics and Ansys software could create a finite element model of proximal femur.It was found that the correspondent relationship between stress and structure in proximal femur was verified.

CONCLUSION:

Mimics can build more three-dimensional finite element models in line with the proximal femoral mechanical structure and mechanical properties.The mechanical properties of the femur are more credible,and the results of the analysis support the clinical application of the guidance.
