Fig 2. Illustration of process for patient-specific finite element modeling.

Fig 2

A) Segmented CT images are combined with a CAD model of an IM nail to model an implanted device for TTC fusion. B) The densitometric properties of the bone are converted to modulus values to capture the distribution of properties in the bone allowing for the same patient-specific model to be applied in all 3 nailing systems.
