Low trauma fractures are amongst the most frequently encountered problems in the clinical
assessment and treatment of bones, with dramatic health consequences for individuals and …

With improving clinical CT scanning technology, the accuracy of CT-based finite element
(FE) models of the human skeleton may be ameliorated by an enhanced description of …

Continuum finite element (FE) models of bones and bone-implant configurations are usually
based on clinical CT scans. In virtually all of these models, material properties assigned to …

Quantitative computed tomography (QCT)-based finite element (FE) models of the vertebra
are widely used in studying spine biomechanics and mechanobiology, but their accuracy …

Direct assessment of bone competence in vivo is not possible, hence, it is inevitable to
predict it using appropriate simulation techniques. Although accurate estimates of bone …

The personalization of trabecular micro-architecture has been recently shown to be
important in patient-specific biomechanical models of the femur. However, high-resolution in …

Continuum finite element (FE) models of bones have become a standard pre-clinical tool to
estimate bone strength. These models are usually based on clinical CT scans and material …

The systematic development of subject-specific computer models for the analysis of
personalized treatments is currently a reality. In fact, many advances have recently been …

Microarchitectural finite element models have become a key tool in the analysis of trabecular
bone. Robust, accurate, and validated constitutive models would enhance confidence in …

Osteoporosis leads to an increased risk of bone fracture. While bone density and
architecture can be assessed in vivo with increasing accuracy using CT and MRI, their …
