| Popis: | Finite element analysis (FEA) has become a fundamental tool for biomechanical investigations in the last decades. Despite several existing initiatives and guidelines for reporting on research methods and results, there are still numerous issues that arise when using computational models in biomechanical investigations. According to our knowledge, these problems and controversies lie mainly in the verification and validation (V&V) process as well as in the set-up and evaluation of FEA. This work aims to introduce a checklist including a report form defining recommendations for FEA in the field of Orthopedic and Trauma (O&T) biomechanics. Therefore, a checklist was elaborated which summarizes and explains the crucial methodologies for the V&V process. In addition, a report form has been developed which contains the most important steps for reporting future FEA. An example of the report form is shown, and a template is provided, which can be used as a uniform basis for future documentation. The future application of the presented report form will show whether serious errors in biomechanical investigations using FEA can be minimized by this checklist. Finally, the credibility of the FEA in the clinical area and the scientific exchange in the community regarding reproducibility and exchangeability can be improved. |
