This study compares two finite element modeling pipelines for predicting subchondral bone strain in Thoroughbred racehorses, finding that one is more accurate but computationally intensive than the other.

This study uses 3D finite element analysis on sCT images to estimate strain in Thoroughbred racehorses' third metacarpal bones, finding higher strain in areas with subchondral bone injury, aligning with clinical risk assessments.

This paper develops a mathematical model to simulate bone adaptation, microdamage accumulation, and repair in racehorses, finding that high-speed training causes significant damage and repair rates cannot offset it.

The paper develops and validates a sCT-based finite element analysis pipeline to predict strain in Thoroughbred racehorse condyles and assess stress fracture risk.
