Material property assignment is a critical step in developing subject-specific finite element
models of bone. Inhomogeneous material properties are often applied using an equation …

Purpose To report clinical and radiographic outcomes for the Herbert ulnar head prosthesis
after a mean of 7.5 years (range, 2.0–12.5 years). Methods We performed 22 Herbert ulnar …

Carbon fibre reinforced PEEK (CF/PEEK) laminates provide mechanical advantages over
homogenous metal osteo-synthesis implants, eg radiolucency, fatigue strength and strength …

Assigning an appropriate density—modulus relationship is an important factor when
applying inhomogeneous material properties to finite element models of bone. The purpose …

A nonlinear finite element modeling (FEM) scheme to analyze the combined effect of thermal
and hygroscopic deformation is presented. The scheme employs the conventional moisture …

Background Ulnar head fractures are increasingly higher with the growing proportion of the
elderly people. Failure to achieve a stable anatomic reduction of ulna head fracture may …

Strain energy–based adaptive material models are used to predict bone resorption resulting
from stress shielding induced by prosthetic joint implants. Generally, such models are …

This study aimed to provide quantitative activation data for muscles of the forearm during
pronation and supination while using a power grip. Electromyographic data was collected …

Distal ulnar arthroplasty is becoming a popular treatment option for disorders of the distal
radioulnar joint; however, few studies have investigated how load transfer in the ulna is …

PURPOSE: Implant design parameters can greatly affect load transfer from the implant stem
to the bone. We have investigated the effect of length or material of distal ulnar implant …
