Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Ankle joint is a center of body weight, foot pressure buffering and human contact with the ground and easily gets injury. The study of orthopedic biomechanics continues to mature and develop. Models were established with three-dimensional finite element software to analyze ankle biomechanics and to study clinical diseases, which gradually become a hot research topic.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of three-dimensional finite element analysis of biomechanics in the ankle and to review the clinical research progress. METHODS: China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed (from January 1986 to March 2014) were used to search the related finite element articles about ankle. The retrieval words included ankle, finite element, biomechanics and mechanics research. After excluding objective-independent papers or repeated articles, 47 papers were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Ankle joint complex biomechanics mechanism and variety of injury could break mechanics balance of its surrounding structure and lead to instability and traumatic arthritis. Ankle’s three-dimensional finite element model can accurately reflect anatomical structure and virtual simulation can reappear the operation method in the simulation biomechanics experiment, such as compression, tension, bending, torsion and anti-fatigue mechanics. It makes the direction of the research from biomechanics of static to dynamic, which finds a more suitable solution to diagnose and treat clinical diseases.
