Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical validation of whole bone composite femur models
TL;DR: It seems that the composite tibias are suitable to replace cadaveric specimens for certain types of test, whereas they might be unsuitable for others, depending on the loading regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical relationships between bone density and mechanical properties: A literature review

TL;DR: To identify density-elasticity relationships suitable for use in subject-specific FE studies, the development of a benchmark study is proposed, where the elasticity-density relationship is taken as the variable under study, and a numerical model of known numerical accuracy predicts experimental strain measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical noteMechanical validation of whole bone composite femur models
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive experimental validation of the whole bone composite model, compared to human fresh-frozen and dried-rehydrated specimens for different loading conditions was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subject-specific finite element models implementing a maximum principal strain criterion are able to estimate failure risk and fracture location on human femurs tested in vitro.
TL;DR: A maximum principal strain criterion can be defined a suitable candidate for the in vivo risk factor assessment on long bones by correctly identifying the level of failure risk and the location of fracture onset in all the modelled specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subject-specific finite element models can accurately predict strain levels in long bones
TL;DR: Comparing finite element predicted strains with strain-gauges measurements obtained on eight cadaver proximal femurs shows that the adoption of a single density-elasticity relationship over the whole bone density range is adequate to obtain an accuracy that is already suitable for many applications.
