Abstract
A three-dimensional bio-realistic finite element model of the human elbow was
constructed based on the MRI data to analyse the implications of joint incongruity on
the elbow joint structure. The MRI data were captured based on scanning a 21-yearold male without previous upper limb abnormalities, with the slice thickness of 0.4

A three-dimensional bio-realistic finite element model of the human elbow was
constructed based on the MRI data to analyse the implications of joint incongruity on
the elbow joint structure. The MRI data were captured based on scanning a 21-yearold male without previous upper limb abnormalities, with the slice thickness of 0.4
mm to segment different elbow tissues. The model was developed based on imagebased Bio-CAD modelling technique [1]. This bio-realistic model consists of the three
bones, which are humerus, ulnar and radius, while the relative articulations exist in
the joints were also modelled using the cartilage layers on each bone. Two main
ligaments of medial and radial collateral ligaments were modelled to analyse the
loading transfer mechanism within the different human elbow joints (the humeroulnar, humeroradial, proximal radioulnar). The assigned material properties, loading
and boundary conditions were captured from the literature [1, 2, 3, 4]. This
developed model is a database for different static or dynamic loading and boundary
conditions which can represent the realistic degrees of freedom of the human elbow
joint movements.
