ABSTRACT
The interosseous membrane (IOM) of the forearm plays a crucial role in facilitating forearm function and mechanical load transmission between the radius and ulna. Accurate characterization of its biomechanical properties is essential for developing realistic finite element models of the forearm. This study aimed to investigate the mechanical behavior and material properties of the central fibrous regions of the IOM using fresh frozen cadavers. Ten forearms from five cadavers were dissected, preserving the IOM and identifying the distal accessory band (DAB), central band (CB), and proximal accessory band (PAB). Bone-ligament-bone specimens were prepared and subjected to uniaxial tensile testing, with the loading direction aligned with the fiber orientation. Force-displacement curves were obtained and converted to force-strain and stress-strain curves using premeasured fiber lengths and cross-sectional areas. The results demonstrated distinct mechanical responses among the IOM regions, with the PAB exhibiting significantly lower force-strain behavior compared to the DAB and CB. The derived force-strain and stress-strain relationships provide valuable insights into the regional variations in stiffness and strength of the IOM, highlighting the importance of considering these differences when modeling the IOM in finite element analysis. In conclusion, this study establishes a foundation for the development of advanced finite element models of the forearm that accurately capture the biomechanical behavior of the IOM.
