Finite element analysis of the pelvis after modular hemipelvic endoprosthesis reconstruction

摘要

We read the article by Zhou et al. with great interest [ 1 ]. The authors conducted a study to investigate the biomechanics of the pelvis reconstructed with a modular hemipelvic prosthesis using finite element (FE) analysis. At the end of the study, they found that stress distribution of the postoperative pelvis was similar to that in the normal pelvis at three different static positions and that reconstruction with a modular hemipelvic prosthesis yielded good biomechanical characteristics.
