ABSTRACT
Objective To build a three-dimension finite-element model of patella and to make a preliminary mechanics analysis on the model.Methods According to the model-building principle of Ansys software which started from point to line to area to volume,a three-dimension finite-element patella model was reconstructed on the basis of the images of spiral CT.Then,loading on the model patella were simulated and the stress magnitude and distribution on the patella were analyzed.Results Finite element analysis of the patella showed that stress concentration zone located in the middle and lower patella,indicating that fracturepredilectionsitesinthelower patellar.TheVon misesstresson thetensionsidewas significantly greater than that on pressure side.Conclusion The established finite element model of the patella can reflect the real geometry of patella treated in clinics.
