Original Abstract

The paper is focused on computational modeling of elbow articulation with radial head replacement. The main part of the project is aimed towards the creation of computational model of suitable partial endoprothesis of proximal part of the radial bone tissue which would keep the function of the elbow articulation while replacing the distance created by resection. The geometrical and computational model of particular radial head replacement and elbow joint were created and analyzed. Computational model with that implant was compared with given physiological state of elbow articulation. The influence of friction and material characteristics of bone tissue and cartilage on changes in contact pressure (and therefore to the abrasion) were analyzed using this model.
