| Abstract: | An algorithmic strategy for the modelling and simulation of bone healing is presented. The algorithm works directly on the computed tomography data and simulates, after an appropriate volume meshing, a mechainically driven healing concept which is based on competitive and dynamical mechanical parameters. The finite element simulations are done with realistic boundary conditions from patient-specific OpenSim simulations. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
