Validation of patient-specific flatfoot models on finite element analysis

Adult-acquired flatfoot causes various deformities. If a patient-specific foot model can be created using the finite element method, it can be used to study the appropriate surgical technique for each patient. Nine patient-specific flatfoot models were created, and loading simulations were performed...

Description
Summary:Adult-acquired flatfoot causes various deformities. If a patient-specific foot model can be created using the finite element method, it can be used to study the appropriate surgical technique for each patient. Nine patient-specific flatfoot models were created, and loading simulations were performed. To validate the models, the patients' weight-bearing radiographs were compared with the parameters of the models. The CCC values ranged from 0.917 to 0.993 , all exceeding the moderate threshold according to the McBride criteria. Our model reproduces the biomechanics of a patient's foot under loading conditions, which may be useful for investigating patient-specific surgical procedures.
