Finite element analysis of the pelvis including gait muscle forces: an investigation into the effect of rami fractures on load transmission

Abstract Background The objective of the study is to investigate the load transmission within the pelvic ring under physiological loading during gait and to correlate these results with clinical findings. In a second approach, we analysed how load distribution is altered by fractures of the anterior...
