Article Synopsis
- Sinus Tarsi plates are implants used in minimally invasive surgeries to fix fractures in the calcaneus bone, and this study focused on how different screw patterns affect their performance.
- * The research involved creating six 3D models to analyze how different screw placements in 5, 6, and 7-hole plates influenced calcaneus fracture stabilization under various walking conditions.
- * Findings revealed that while the implant experienced higher stress than the surrounding bone, using a 7-hole plate with anterior screws reduced the risk of failure and provided better stability at the fracture site.
Those with disabilities who have lost their legs must use a prosthesis to walk. However, traditional prostheses have the disadvantage of being unable to move and support the human gait because there are no mechanisms or algorithms to control them. This makes it difficult for the wearer to walk.

Methods: The 3D models of 480 tibias were created using reverse engineering techniques from computed tomography imaging data obtained from 240 volunteers (120 males, 120 females; range 20-50 years). Based on 3D measurements, a digital ruler was used to measure the distance between the triangular points of the models.
The present study revealed an advanced method using data obtained from three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) to evaluate the craniometric data of the Thai population. Ninty-one Thai cadaveric dry skulls from the Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University were investigated in the present study. It enabled the authors to assess the three-dimensional anatomical landmarks in digital format without physical measurements.
