Computational Biomechanics of Human Joints delves deep into each joint, covering the anatomical, mechanical, pathological, and therapeutic aspects. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific joint, providing an in-depth understanding of its anatomical structure, biomechanical mechanisms, associated diseases and pathologies, available treatments, surgical interventions, as well as imaging-based modelling and numerical simulation techniques using the finite element method. By integrating modelling and numerical simulation techniques into the exploration of joint biomechanics, this book offers readers an innovative perspective and a thorough understanding of the possibilities afforded by these technological advances. It also highlights the advantages and limitations of these methods and discusses their potential to improve clinical decision-making, optimize personalized treatments, design medical devices, and enhance understanding of the intricate mechanisms of joints.
