A three-dimensional finite element model of maximal grip loading in the human wrist
World first paper developing the full 3D FEA modelling of the whole wrist bone interaction including ligament and cartlidge modelling. Work has been used by medical implant groups in the UK and worldwide research groups in US (Prof Victor Kosmopoulos, University of Northern Texas, Fort Worth on ligament modelling (victor.kosmopoulos@unthsc.edu), Japan (Prof Yuji Tanabe, Niigata University which resulted in a research exchange in 2012 funded by Japanese Institution, y.tanabe@eng.niigata-u.ac.jp) and Malaysia (Prof Tunku Abindin – using our model in their biomechanical analysis of the wrist arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis (tkzrea@um.edu.my).
