Complementary to experimental studies, computational biomechanics has become useful
tool for the understanding of human foot biomechanics and pathomechanics. Its findings …

Background Biomechanical simulation of the foot and ankle complex is a growing research
area but compared to simulation of joints such as hip and knee, it has been under …

Background Total ankle arthroplasty is gaining popularity as an alternation to ankle
arthrodesis for end-stage ankle arthritis. Owing to the complex anatomical characteristics of …

Implant loosening–commonly linked with elevated initial micromotion–is the primary
indication for total ankle replacement (TAR) revision. Finite element modelling has not been …

Use of porous lattice structures and functionally graded (FG) implants in orthopaedic
applications has emerged as a promising solution to reduce stress shielding. However …

Background The long-term success of total ankle replacement (TAR) depends on both bone
ingrowth and remodelling. The extreme values of implant-bone micromotion hinder bone …

Background A proper combination of implant materials for Total Ankle Replacement (TAR)
may reduce stress at the bearing component and the resected surfaces of the tibia and talus …

The depth of resection of the tibia bone in total ankle replacement (TAR) may influence
implant-bone micromotion and stress shielding. High implant-bone micromotion and stress …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of implant orientation and implant material
on tibia bone strain, implant–bone micromotion, maximum contact pressure, and wear depth …

Customized talus implants have been regarded as a better treatment alternative to talus
avascular necrosis than traditional surgical fusion because of its ability to maintain joint …
