Abstract Mandibular Angle Split Osteotomy (MASO) is a significant procedure in oral and
maxillofacial surgery. Despite advances in technique and instrumentation, its success still …

Statistical Shape Models (SSMs) are widely used in orthopedics to extract the main shape
features from bone regions (eg, femur). This study aims to develop an SSM of the femoral …

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) currently represents the clinical gold standard for hip
fracture risk assessment. Nevertheless, it is characterised by a limited prediction accuracy …

An area of interest in orthopaedics is the development of efficient customized neck orthoses,
considered that pathologies which affect the neck area are widespread. Advanced …

Background and Objective: As in vivo measurements of knee joint contact forces remain
challenging, computational musculoskeletal modeling has been popularized as an …

Abstract Background: State-of-the-art finite element studies on human jaws are mostly
limited to the geometry of a single patient. In general, develo** accurate patient-specific …

Human computer models represent a useful tool for investigating the human body response
to external static/dynamic loads or for human-centred design. Articulated Total Body (ATB) …

One of the main limitations in subject-centred design approach is represented by getting 3D
models of the region of interest. Indeed, 3D reconstruction from imaging data (ie, computed …

The aim of this article is to introduce a new methodology for constructing morphings
between shapes that have identical topology. The morphings are obtained by deforming a …

Despite the large demand for dental restoration each year, the design of crown restorations
is mainly performed via manual software operation, which is tedious and subjective …
