A Validated, Specimen-Specific Finite Element Model of the Supraspinatus Tendon Mechanical Environment

This study establishes a rigorously validated specimen-specific (both geometry and material properties) computational model using novel surface strain measurements for the use in investigating the function of the supraspinatus tendon and to ultimately predict the propagation of supraspinatus tendon tears based on the tendon's mechanical environment.
