Abstract (sommario):
The biomechanics of the equine hoof are not well understood. Therefore biomechanical models of the hoof were developed, using finite element analysis and finite deformation elasticity, to provide a means of analysing the mechanisms underlying hoof function and dysfunction. One goal of the research was to investigate the biomechanical effects of different hoof shapes. A parametric geometry model that could be configured to represent commonly observed variations in hoof shape was developed for this purpose. Tissue behaviour models, accounting for aspects of the nonlinearity, inhomogeneit

The work reported in this thesis was carried out to investigate the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of the forefoot during normal locomotion activities. An extensive literature review on the subject is presented and the need for further investigations shown. Fresh autopsy specimens were studied to determine the course taken by tendons in relation to the joints of the forefoot, and the topography of joint surfaces mapped. The overall geometries of the first and second rays have been described too. Also, an experimental investigation has shown that without muscular activity the metatarsal bones

Abstract (sommario):
The lack of suitable models for prediction of the vertebral body (VB) failure load for a variety of pathologies hampers the development of indications for surgical and pharmaceutical interventions and the assessment of novel treatments. Similar models would also be of benefit in a laboratory environment in which predictions of failure load could aid experimental design when using cadaveric tissue. Finite element modelling shows great potential but the expertise required to effectively deploy this technology in a clinical environment precludes its routine use at the present time. Its deployment

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a major burden worldwide. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a recognised treatment option for these fractures but there is conflicting evidence regarding the optimum amount of cement to use and there is little evidence regarding the best surgical approach to treating these fractures. Newer techniques are available which expand on the basic premise of percutaneous vertebroplasty. This project aimed to provide the basic science to answer the questions of cement fill, approach and the use of modern adjuncts to traditional percutaneous vertebroplasty.
