A few injury criteria for foot and ankle were proposed in the past; however, they addressed only certain injury mechanisms or impact loadings. The main goal of this study was to investigate numerically the tolerance of foot and ankle under complex loading which may appear during automotive crashes. A previously developed and preliminarily validated foot and leg finite element (FE) model of a 50th percentile male was employed in this study. The model was further validated against postmortem human subjects (PMHS) data in various loading conditions that generates the bony fractures and ligament failures in ankle and subtalar regions observed in traffic accidents. Then, the foot and leg model were subjected to complex loading simulated as combinations of axial, dorsiflexion, and inversion loadings. An injury surface was fitted through the points corresponding to the parameters recorded at the time of failure in the FE simulations. The compelling injury predictions of the injury surface in two crash simulations may recommend its application for interpreting the test data recorded by anthropometric test devices (ATD) during crash tests. It is believed that the methodology presented in this study may be appropriate for the development of injury criteria under complex loadings corresponding to other body regions as well.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4025108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,29]],"date-time":"2013-07-29T16:31:01Z","timestamp":1375115461000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Biomechanical and Injury Response of Human Foot and Ankle Under Complex Loading"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"135","author":[{"given":"Jaeho","family":"Shin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Costin D.","family":"Untaroiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24060 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019100315195855100_B1","unstructured":"Kuppa, S., Wang, J., Haffner, M., and EppingerR., 2001, \u201cLower Extremity Injuries and Associated Injury Criteria,\u201d Proceedings of 17th ESV Conference, Paper No. 457, pp. 1\u201315."},{"key":"2019100315195855100_B2","unstructured":"Stucki, S.-L., Hollowell, W.-T., and Fessahaie, O., 1998, \u201cDetermination of Frontal Offset Test Conditions Based on Crash Data,\u201d Proceedings of 16th ESV Conference, Paper No. 98-SI-O-02."},{"key":"2019100315195855100_B3","article-title":"The Role of Axial Loading in Malleolar Fractures","year":"2000"},{"key":"2019100315195855100_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Funk, J., Srinivasan, S., Crandall, J.
