The development and validation of a geometrically simplified and an accurate finite element model of the wrist joint

Includes bibliographical references (p. 189-195). === The injury to the wrist joint resulting from a fall onto the outstretched hand was simulated using two models. The two validated three-dimensional wrist joint models were created using the general purpose finite element software, ABAQUS. The firs...
