Their preoperative CT images and pre- and postoperative gait data were used to create subject-specific musculoskeletal models and complete the inverse dynamics analysis (IDA). Two patients with typical gait characteristics were selected using clustering analysis, and their IDA data were incorporated into finite element (FE) models of IS and TS fixations. Failure simulation was performed by applying iterative steps with increasing gait load to predict yield load. Stress results and yield loads were calculated for each FE model at different phases of the gait cycle.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Postoperative gait showed improvement compared to preoperative gait but remained inferior to that of healthy individuals. Postoperative gait was characterized by a lower hip range of motion, lower peri-ilium muscle forces, particularly in the abductors, and a sharper initial peak and flatter second peak of hip joint reaction force (HRF). Finite element analysis (FEA) showed a trend of increasing stress during the second\u2013fourth phases of the gait cycle, with lower stress levels in other phases. At high-stress gait phases, the mean stress of maximum <jats:inline-formula><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"m1\"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mover accent=\"true\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>\u00af<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mover><mml:mn>100<\/mml:mn><\/mml:msub><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula> differed significantly between IS and TS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05) and between coupled and uncoupled muscle forces (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). Failure analysis predicted a slightly larger yield load for TS configurations (6.21*BW) than that for IS (6.16*BW), but both were well above the gait load. Coupled and uncoupled groups showed similar results, but uncoupled groups had lower yield loads (5.9*BW).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> PAO early postoperative gait shows a normalized trend, but abnormalities persist. IS and TS are both capable of resisting mechanical strain failure, with no significant mechanical advantage found for transverse screw fixation during PAO early postoperative gait. Additionally, it is important to note that the TS may have a higher risk of cyclic fatigue failure due to the localized greater stress concentration. Furthermore, the most medial screw is crucial for pelvic stability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2023.1171040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]],"date-time":"2023-07-19T11:19:12Z","timestamp":1689765552000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mechanical upside of PAO mainstream fixations: co-simulation based on early postoperative gait characteristics of DDH patients"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianye","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aobulikasimu","family":"Aikebaier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luoyong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weichao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingwen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueling","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.2319\/120514-875.1","article-title":"Maximum principal strain as a criterion for prediction of orthodontic mini-implants failure in subject-specific finite element models","volume":"86","author":"Albogha","year":"2016","journal-title":"Angle Orthod"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-200210000-00032","article-title":"Comparison of two methods of screw fixation in periacetabular osteotomy","volume":"403","author":"Babis","year":"2002","journal-title":"Clin.
