The three-dimensional finite element model of unilateral complete cleft lip and palate and mechanical analysis of the oral surfaces
This study demonstrates the potential of a 3D finite element model in predicting mechanical responses of the cleft palate during surgical repair. The findings provide surgeons with valuable insights for improving incision placement, flap design, and suturing techniques to minimize tension and enhance healing. This personalized approach could significantly improve surgical outcomes and reduce postoperative complications in cleft palate repair.
