The invention relates to a method for constructing a three-dimension finite
element model which treats a tibial
plateau posterior-lateral fracture with different inner fixing manners. The method specially includes the following steps that CT
tomography is used for obtaining cross-sectional image data of a normal
tibia attached outer steel plate and a normal
tibia attached rear steel plate; application
open source software ITK-SNAP is used for carrying out medical
image processing and
cutting; a
solid geometric model is generated in professional three-dimension finite-element mesh generating
software HyperMesh;
solid geometric models in different assemblies are selected according to needs in the HyperMEsh and assembled, a needed model containing the whole
tibia, a
tibial fracture model and a model for treating the
tibial fracture with different inner fixing manners are generated, each model is composed of multiple assemblies, each
assembly is divided into grids respectively and multiple
tetrahedron finite element models which treat the
tibial fracture with different inner fixing manners and of the tibia are finally generated. According to the method for constructing the three-dimension finite
element model which treats the tibial
plateau posterior-lateral fracture with different inner fixing manners, the ITK-SNAP and the HyperMesh
software are used for rapidly and accurately setting up the three-dimension finite
element model which treats the tibial
plateau posterior-lateral fracture with different inner fixing manners, the modeling speed and the modeling quality are greatly improved and a base is laid for further biomechanical analysis.
