Two-dimensional finite element modeling shows compression effects in the distal carpal arch, indicating potential benefits for surgical planning.
This paper presents a two-dimensional (2-D) finite element analysis (FEA) model of the distal carpal arch, utilizing nonlinear mechanical properties for the ligaments. A simple compression of the arch before and after flexor retinaculum release is presented, along with a discussion of the benefits and future direction for such a model.
