Evaluation of a universal talus implant during gait: a combined musculoskeletal and finite element modelling approach

(Sami Al Shweiki, MSc in Biomedical Engineering, ETH Zurich & Khalifa University, 18. December, 2025 )

This study presents a combined musculoskeletal and finite element modelling approach to evaluate the dynamic performance of a previously developed universal talus implant by looking at articular contact behavior in the ankle complex during gait. The focus of the analysis is on contact stresses on peri-talar cartilages and on the role of the addition of a compliant layer to the originally purely metallic implant.
