Finite element modeling is a field of medicine with great potential future in experimental studies and in daily clinical practice as well. Computational modeling is currently used in several medical applications including orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, and dentistry.

Currently, there is little data on the development of a 3D finite element-defined model for congenital clubfoot.
