TI  - Comparision of the Stress Distribution Between High-Heeled and Flat Shoes on The First Metatarsal Bone
AB  - The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the wearing high-heeled shoes (HHS) by comparing the wearing the flat shoes onthe first metatarsal bone using the finite element method. The first metatarsal bone is modeled from computerized tomography(CT) image as 3D and imported to ANSYS Workbench Software. Body weight (BW) and muscle forces were applied to the firstmetatarsal bone. The bone was fixed at the proximal region of the bone for the boundary conditions. Three evaluation criteria wereexamined for the results as the stresses, the total deformations and the strain values on the bone. The stress and strain distributionsof the bone were evaluated for the bone failure. The deformation of the bone were evaluated for the bone stabilitiy. As a result, thewearing HHS increases the stress values on the first metatarsal bone approximately %54 compared to the flat shoes. The strainvalues showed that the bone crack or failure was not occured. The deformation of the bone was increased when wearing the HHSshoes. The conclusion of the study is that the wearing HHS negatively affects the first metatarsal bone. Hence, the frequency ofthe wearing HHS in daily life should be reduced and heeled shoe designs should be made taking into account the stresses occuredon the bone.
