ABSTRACT: In this paper a computational technique to perform patient specific Finite Element analy-
ses of the mechanical behaviour of future prosthetic devices is presented. The model is obtained from
medical images and geometrical data; the former provide the information about the living tissues and the
latter represent the pr ...
