A non-invasive methodology was presented to obtain a three-dimensional femur model of infants affected with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type III, allowing for the assessment of bone fractures. The study showed stress concentration areas in the central zone of the femur diaphysis, with the highest stress levels occurring in comminuted fractures and the lowest in transverse fractures, providing valuable insights for pathological research.
This work presents a non-invasive methodology to obtain a three-dimensional femur model of three-year-old infants affected with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type III. DICOM(R) Files of a femur were processed to obtain a finite element model to assess the transverse, the oblique, and the comminuted fractures. The model is evaluated under a normal walking cycle. The loads applied were considered the most critical force generated on the normal walking cycle, and the analyses considered anisotropic bone conditions. The outcome shows stress concentration areas in the central zone of the diaphysis of the femur, and the highest levels of stress occur in the case of the comminuted fracture, while the transverse fracture presents the lowest values. Thus, the method can be helpful for determining the bone fracture behavior of certain pathologies, such as osteogenesis imperfecta, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.
