Comparison of Lateral and Medial Plate Fixations of Talar Neck Fracture: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Talar neck fractures are rare, but challenging injuries, because the bone has unique anatomy, and its blood supply makes it difficult to stabilize the fracture and is likely to cause posttraumatic or postoperative complications. Thanks to development of appropriately sized plates, outcomes of plate fixation of talar neck fractures have been improved compared with screw fixation. Although some studies have demonstrated no difference between screw only fixation and screw-plate …

Three-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling Study of Stress Distribution in Calcaneal Fracture
Abstract: The calcaneus is one of the biggest load-bearing tarsal bone in human body and therefore, many authors stress the importance of its biomechanical modeling and analysis in several aspects. We predicted possible fracture lines’ characteristics throughout the reconstruction of three-dimensional finite element modeling from CT slices and biomechanical analysis of stress state within talo-calcaneal complex, and its clinical validity was identified by comparing with radiographic/intraoperative findings. We reconstructed the 3-D …
