Musculoskeletal tissues are complex hierarchical materials where mechanical response is
linked to structural and material properties at different dimensional levels. Therefore, high …

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is an established treatment for elderly patients
with irreparable rotator cuff tears, complex proximal humerus fractures, and revision …

The evaluation of the local mechanical behavior as a result of metastatic lesions is
fundamental for the characterization of the mechanical competence of metastatic vertebrae …

Better understanding of the local deformation of the bone network around metallic implants
subjected to loading is of importance to assess the mechanical resistance of the bone …

Digital volume correlation (DVC) enables to evaluate the ability of μFE models in predicting
experimental results on the mesoscale. In this study predicted displacement fields of three …

Subject-specific finite element models (FEMs) of the shoulder can be used to evaluate joint
replacement designs preclinically. However, to ensure accurate conclusions are drawn …

Continuum-level finite element models (FEMs) of the humerus offer the ability to evaluate
joint replacement designs preclinically; however, experimental validation of these models is …

Injury to the ACL significantly increases the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
Following injury, considerable focus is placed on visualizing soft tissue changes using MRI …

Abstract Background Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasties (RSA) have become a primary choice
for improving shoulder function and pain. However, the biomechanical failure mechanism of …

Bone microstructure plays an important role in providing the support for human skeleton,
allowing the transport of nutrients, providing the spaces for cell activities, etc. Bone …
