ABSTRACT

Introduction: new information tools have a growing influence on technological and scientific advances in health care. Orthopedics is one of the areas where new computational tools have been largely implemented, mainly owing to the similarity of the human body and its bone structure to the properties of engineering materials, enabling the modeling of tissues and organs in accordance with remodeling theories predicting their potential mechanobiological behavior. Objective: describe the response of a human tibia to external torsion stimuli.
Methods: estimation of tensions and deformities in the human tibia was based on the Finite Element Method incorporated into the professional software Abaqus/CAE.
Results: starting from medical tomographic images, a specific model was obtained for a patient with tibial torsion syndrome. The images were computer processed with the medical imaging treatment software MIMICS 10.01 to establish a relationship between the grayscale (Hounsfield units), bone density and Young’s modulus.
Conclusions: it was determined that 30 Nm is the correct static torsion moment value to be applied to this patient to start the remodeling process.
