Abstract:
Medical implants are normally used in clinical practice to treat most orthopaedics situations involving bone fractures, deformities, dislocation, and lengthening. It should be noted that specific measures regarding biomechanical
and biomaterial characteristics are required for a successful post-surgery procedure. Biomechanical evaluations on
the medical implants could be performed by utilising computer and engineering technology. One of them is in silico studies using finite element method that could be simulated in high-performance computer. However, various
assumptions are required in computer simulation, such as the constraints on data input and computer resources.
This review paper discusses current approaches of constructing a finite element model of human bone with specific
material properties for upper limb such as the shoulder joint, humerus, elbow joint, radius and wrist joint. Previous
related literatures were reviewed from selected keywords and search engines. To narrow the literature search in this
study, inclusion and exclusion criteria of the literature searching were applied. We looked at the current level of
knowledge in this field and offered recommendations for future study. In conclusion, studies from previous literature
have demonstrated several ways for developing mathematical models and simulating medical implants.
