Abstract

A fracture healing simulation method based on cell activity relates to the field of biomedical engineering and is used for predicting a complex process of fracture healing and seeking an optimal fracture healing scheme. The method comprises the steps of I, establishing a three-dimensional geometric model of a fracture region; II, establishing a fracture healing region finite element model; III, acquiring material attribute and cell concentration of a fracture region unit; IV, subjecting the fracture region to finite element analysis; V, solving mechanical stimulus borne by the fracture region unit, and acquiring new tissue phenotype according to force regulating algorithm; VI, analyzing cell activity; VII, calculating material attribute of a new fracture healing region unit; VIII, judging whether the program ends or not. Through the fracture healing simulation method based on cell activity, it is possible to simulate a fracture healing process more precisely, and doctors are helped to make an optimal fracture healing surgical scheme.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biomedical engineering, in particular to a fracture healing simulation method based on cell activity. Background technique [0002] Fracture is a common trauma, and the high incidence of fracture makes the study of fracture mechanism and promotion of healing extremely urgent. Different from other tissue injury repairs, fractures are not connected by fibrous connective tissue, but complete regeneration of bone tissue. However, not all fractures heal completely and sometimes delayed union or even nonunion occurs. Delayed union or nonunion of fractures can cause pain and dysfunction in the affected limb, leading to unemployment of the patient, which causes a great social and economic burden. Therefore, although the research on fracture healing has been receiving much attention, there are still 5% to 10% of fractures with delayed union or even nonunion due to various reasons. [0003] The process of fracture healing...
