Tibia and Fibula Stress Strain Research

Abstract

This article is devoted to the stress strain research of a biomechanical system formed by the tibia, fibula and muscles under external stress (axial compression). In this study an anatomically accurate geometric model of human bones was developed based on CT analysis data, which was the basis of the calculated finite element model. A numerical evaluation of the stress strain state was carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The developed model of the tibia and fibula was validated based on the results of axial compression field tests. The analysis of mesh independence of finite element models of the tibia and fibula has been carried out.
