Stresses in the growth plate of the developing proximal femur

Journal Article Journal of Applied Biomechanics · January 1, 2001 Finite element models of the proximal femur at birth, 2 years of age, and at 8 years of age were constructed to investigate stress patterns under different loading conditions. These loading conditions represent typical activities of a normal developing chi ... Full text Cite

Finite element study of the developing proximal femur

Conference Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference Proceedings · January 1, 1996 Three finite element models of the proximal femur have been developed for different ages, namely birth, two years of age and 8 yrs of age. These models represent stages of development which have different geometries and material properties. The models are ... Cite
