An in Silico Analysis of Ankle Joint Loads in Secondary Ankle Osteoarthritis. Case Study

Jacek Lorkowski et al. Ortop Traumatol Rehabil. 2015 May-Jun.

Abstract

Secondary, post-traumatic, degenerative lesions of the ankle joint remain a serious clinical challenge. This paper presents the case of a 66-year-old patient with secondary, post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis and subchondral cysts. The use of rapid computer modelling FEM 2D enabled optimization of surgical treatment. A FEM 2D model of biomechanical changes in bones may help in streamlining treatment as well as improve our understanding of the pathomechanism of osteoarthritis.
