A Parametric Study of Hard Tissue Injury Prediction Using Finite Elements: Consideration of Geometric Complexity, Subfailure Material Properties, CT-Thresholding, and Element Characteristics

摘要

Objective: The objectives of this study were to examine the axial response of the clavicle under quasistatic compressions replicating the body boundary conditions and to quantify the sensitivity of finite element-predicted fracture in the clavicle to several parameters.
