Image from CT scan (A). Process of modelling and meshing scapula (coracoid) and clavicle: based on a CT scan of the shoulder, a DICOM image was imported into Mimics software for 3D reconstruction of the scapula and clavicle. Geomatics software was used to fit the curved surface sheet, construct grids and generate solid geometry files (B & C). Dog Bone™ button with FiberWire: a simplified three-dimensional model of internal fixation of the Dog Bone™ technique (D). Dog Bone™ internal fixation models have been introduced into bone models to simulate CC ligament reconstruction at G1, G2, and G3, i.e., M1, M2, and M3 (E)
