Finite-element analysis is a computational modeling technique that can be used to quantify parameters that are difficult or impossible to measure externally in a geometrically complex structure such as the foot and ankle. It has been used to improve our understanding of pathomechanics and to evaluate proposed treatments for several disorders, including progressive collapsing foot deformity, ankle arthritis, syndesmotic injury, ankle fracture, plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot ulceration, hallux valgus, and lesser toe deformities. Parameters calculated from finite-element models have been widely used to make predictions about their biomechanical correlates. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
