Finite element analysis is a computational technique to predict how different materials will react when a range of forces are applied. In the field of orthopedics, this technique has predominantly been used for implant design and testing. As the technology improves, increasing clinical applications are being developed, offering promise in the areas of surgical planning and the opportunity to tailor implants to individual patient characteristics. This article introduces the various preclinical mechanical tests available, as well as providing a brief overview of the finite element analysis technology.
有限元分析是一种计算技术，用于预测在施加一系列力时不同材料的反应。在矫形外科领域，这项技术主要用于植入物设计和测试。随着技术的进步，越来越多的临床应用正在开发中，为手术规划提供了前景，并为根据个体患者特征定制植入物提供了机会。本文介绍了各种可用的临床前机械测试，并简要概述了有限元分析技术。
