Title:
Bone density and implant fixation in the shoulder - finite element model of the shoulder joint based on pQ-CT-bone densiometry

Project management at the University of Würzburg:

• Prof Dr med Frank Gohlke

Participating scientists:

• Dr med Michael Glatzel
• A Mehling
• G Schellenberger
• PD Dr med P Schneider
• Prof A Dobrowolski

Abstract:
based on anatomical measurements and pQ-CT-bone densiometry a finite element model of the shoulder joint (Scapula and humerus) is developed in order to improve the implant fixation of shoulder endoprosthesis.

Key words:
    Finite element model of the shoulder joint
    Shoulder arthroplasty
    bone density
    pQ-CT scan

Projekt period: from 03.2000 to 03.2004
