An Integrated Method of Biomechanics Modeling for Pelvic Bone and Surrounding Soft Tissues
The pelvis and its surrounding soft tissues create a complicated mechanical environment that greatly affects the success of fixing broken pelvic bones with surgical navigation systems and/or surgical robots. However, the modeling of the pelvic structure with the more complex surrounding soft tissues...

| description | The pelvis and its surrounding soft tissues create a complicated mechanical environment that greatly affects the success of fixing broken pelvic bones with surgical navigation systems and/or surgical robots. However, the modeling of the pelvic structure with the more complex surrounding soft tissues has not been considered in the current literature. The study developed an integrated finite element model of the pelvis, which includes bone and surrounding soft tissues, and verified it through experiments. Results from the experiments showed that including soft tissue in the model reduced stress and strain on the pelvis compared to when it was not included. The stress and strain distribution during pelvic loading was similar to what is typically seen in research studies and more accurate in modeling the pelvis. Additionally, the correlation with the experimental results from the predecessor’s study was strong (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9627). The results suggest that the integrated model established in this study, which includes surrounding soft tissues, can enhance the comprehension of the complex biomechanics of the pelvis and potentially advance clinical interventions and treatments for pelvic injuries. |
