Abstract
Second metatarsal (2MT) stress fracture is a common and burdensome injury amongst runners, however understanding of the
risk factors leading to injury is limited. Finite Element (FE) modelling represents a viable biorealistic alternative to invasive studies
and simple beam theory models. This study shows the design and validation of ...
Second metatarsal (2MT) stress fracture is a common and burdensome injury amongst runners, however understanding of the
risk factors leading to injury is limited. Finite Element (FE) modelling represents a viable biorealistic alternative to invasive studies
and simple beam theory models. This study shows the design and validation of a simple subject-specific FE model of the 2MT
incorporating geometrically accurate soft tissue and loading. Results show a good comparison with both recent models and bone
staple strain gauge data.
