eng Abstract:
The article reports on an analysis of conservative treatment methods of finger flexor contractures (splinting and external fixation). The treatment simulation is based on numerical Finite Element Method. The stress states of bones and soft tissues are evaluated and compared for different values of the flexion angle.
