Finite element analysis to clarify stress on articular surface of thumb carpometacarpal joint in static loading conditions by using CT images

Analyzing the biomechanics of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is essential for elucidating the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA) and for developing a mechanics-based treatment. This study aimed to identify the areas where the peak stress in the cortical bone is likely to occur during thumb motio...
