1 Ksetsrt J. (Nt. Sci.) 48 : (2014) Study of Stress Distriution in the Tii During Stnce Phse Running Using the Finite Element Method Thepwchr Ruchirh 1, Tumrong Puttpitukporn 1, * nd Siriporn Ssimontonkul 2 ABSTRACT Tii frctures re common in the elderly who hve osteoporosis. Stress distriutions in the tii of two osteoporosis ptients were studied to investigte the cuse of this frcture nd the effects of contct res on the distl end of the tii, ody weight nd knee flexion ngles on the tiil stresses were determined using finite element nlysis. Three-dimensionl tiil models were constructed from computed tomogrphy imges of legs using the Mimics V progrm nd the Geomgic V.10 progrm. These models were imported to the Cti V.5 progrm to perform the finite element nlysis for determining stress distriutions in the tii. The finite element models showed tht the mximum von Mises stress found on the tii of the femle ptient ws higher thn in the mle ptient since the contct re on the distl end of the femle ws smller thn in the mle. Furthermore, the mximum von Mises stress occurred ner the middle of the posterior tii t 30º knee flexion nd ws slightly shifted towrd the medil tii during 30 90º knee flexion. As ody weight incresed, the mximum von Mises stress lso incresed. Moreover, the mximum von Mises stresses otined from the smller contct re were % (for femle ptient) nd % (for mle ptient) higher thn those determined from lrger contct re. Keywords: tii, computed tomogrphy imges, finite element nlysis, osteoporosis INTRODUCTION Brittle ones re common prolem mong the elderly with osteoporosis nd cn esily led to one frcture (Ntionl Institute of Helth, 2014). Computed tomogrphy (CT) imges nd the finite element method hve een used to oserve stress distriution in the one. Khmpgdee (2010) nlyzed the stress in the hed of n osteonecrotic hip joint using the finite element method in the Cosmos progrm. Ssimontonkul et l. (2007) reported tht running led to the occurrence of mximl compressive nd posterior sher forces pplied to the distl end of the tii t mid stnce, which relted to stress frcture of the tii. The ojectives of this reserch were to oserve stress distriutions in the tii during the stnce phse of running nd to determine the effects of contct re on the distl end of the tii, ody weight nd knee flexion ngles on tii stresses using finite element nlysis.

2 730 Ksetsrt J. (Nt. Sci.) 48(5) of the tii consisting of corticl nd cncellous ones sed on the CT imges of two osteoporosis ptients were constructed using the Mimics V (Mterilise; Leuven, Belgium), the Geomgic V.10 (3D Systems; Rock Hill, SC, USA), nd the Cti V.5 (Dssult Systèmes; Wlthm, MA, USA) progrms. Two contct res on the distl end of the tii were modeled ccording to the studies of Kur et l. (1998) nd Wn et l. (2006). Kur et l.(1998) reported on the contct re of the nkle joint with xil loding nd in positions of mximl dorsiflexion, plntr flexion, supintion nd prontion, while Wn et l. (2006) estimted n in vivo rticulr crtilge contct re of the humn tlocrurl joint during the simulted stnce phse of wlking. The pplied lods t the distl end of the tii determined y Ssimontonkul et l. (2007) were used. The fixed res on medil nd lterl condyles were modeled ccording to the study of Eisenhrt-Rothe et l. (2003) who found tht contct res of the ptellofemorl nd tiio-femorl joints depended on knee flexion ngles. Mteril nd Methods Vlidted model To vlidte the ccurcy of the FEM method in the Cti progrm, cntilever em ws modeled consisting of solid cylinder (50 mm dimeter nd 300 mm length) s shown in Figure 1. The FEM ws formed using 1,9751 tetrhedrl elements. The lods pplied to the free end were compressive force of 400 N nd sher force of 200 N. The mteril properties were Young s modulus of 70 GP nd Possion s rtio of Three-dimensionl tiil models The CT imges of the legs of two osteoporosis ptients ( 38 yer-old mle nd 64 yer-old femle) were used to crete the three-dimensionl tiil models. The CT imges were imported into the Mimics V progrm to erse irrelevnt ones nd to correct the right tiil surfces consisting of corticl nd cncellous ones s shown in Figures 2 nd 3. Then, those tiil surfces were repired using the Geomgic V.10 progrm. Figures 4 nd 5 show the repired surfces of the tiil ones of the femle ptient nd mle ptient, respectively. Finlly, the Cti V.5 progrm ws used to crete the ssemly modeling of corticl nd cncellous ones s shown in Figure 6. Finite element modeling The FEM of the right tii consisted of corticl nd cncellous ones. Twenty-four cse studies were investigted to determine the effects of contct res on the distl end of the tii, odyweight nd knee flexion ngles on tiil stresses s shown in Tle 1. These FEMs were formed y tetrhedrl elements in which the numers of elements were tested to otin the ccurte results shown in Tle 2. Contct surfces without friction were constructed etween the inner surfce of the corticl one nd the outer surfce of the cncellous one. Figure 1 Vlidted model.

Boundry conditions The contct res on the distl end of the tii were modeled ccording to the studies of Kur et l. (1998) nd Wn et l. (2006). Figure 7 shows these contct res on the distl end of the FEMs specified y Kur et l. (1998) which were mm 2 for femle nd mm 2 for mle. Figure 8 shows the contct res on the distl end of the FEMs specified y Wn et l. (2006) which were mm 2 (39.93% of the rticulr surfce) for femle nd mm 2 (41.41% of the rticulr surfce) for mle. Therefter, compressive nd posterior sher forces estimted from three ody weights consisting of 40, 60 nd 80 kg from Ssimontonkul et l.(2007) were pplied to the FEM to oserve the effect of weight ering (Tle 4). The fixed contct res on the proximl end of tiis were modeled ccording to the study of Eisenhrt-Rothe et l. (2003). Figure 9 shows these fixed contct res which totled mm 2 for oth femle nd mle ptients.

During o knee flexion, the centroids of the fixed contct res were 0.9 mm elow the centroid of the medil condyle nd 3.5 mm ove the centroid of the lterl condyle. RESULTS Figure 10 shows the contour plot of von Mises stress of the vlidted model. The mximum von Mises stress found t the fixed end ws 9.06 MP which yielded n error of less thn 1.3%. Figure 11 shows the plot of mximum von Mises stress versus the numer of elements for femle ptient (cse study 5) nd mle ptient (cse study 17) to vlidte the FE models. It ws found tht the numers of elements in the FEMs were greter thn 14,000 elements for the tiil one of the femle ptient while there were 12,800 elements for the tiil one of the mle ptient. The mximum von Mises stresses for cse studies 1 24 re shown in Tles 5 nd 6. Figures 12 nd 13 show the von Mises stress distriutions on the tiil surfces for cse studies DISCUSSION The FEMs show tht the cse studies with the contct re specified y Wn et l. (2006) yielded higher mximum von Mises stresses thn ones with the contct re specified y Kur et l. (1998). This might hve resulted from the fct tht the contct res of Wn et l. (2006) were smller thn those of Kur et l. (1998). Moreover, Tle 4 Applied forces on the contct re on the distl end of the tii.

For the cse studies with 30 o knee flexion, the mximum von Mises stresses were found t the middle of the posterior tii. However, for the cse studies with o knee flexion, the loction of the mximum von Mises stresses shifted little more towrd the medil tii. As the ody weight incresed, the mximum von Mises stress incresed. For mle ptient, the knee flexion ngle hd little impct on the mximum von Mises stress. However, for femle ptient, the mximum von Mises stress incresed s the knee ngle incresed. Figure 12 Von Mises stress distriution (MP) on tiil surfce of femle ptient for cse studies l.

10 738 Ksetsrt J. (Nt. Sci.) 48(5) CONCLUSION The tii models consisting of corticl nd cncellous ones were successfully constructed using CT imges. The stress distriutions in the tii of two osteoporosis ptients were studied using FEM nlyses. It ws found tht the mximum von Mises stress occurred ner the middle of the posterior tii. The mximum von Mises stress found on the tii of the femle ptient ws higher thn for the mle ptient. As the ody weight incresed, the mximum von Mises stress incresed. Moreover, the FEM using the contct re specified y Wn et l. (2006) resulted in % (femle ptient) nd % (mle ptient) greter mximum von Mises stress compred with using contct res specified y Kur et l. (1998). Figure 13 Von Mises stress distriution (MP) on tiil surfce of mle ptient for cse studies m x.
