Finite element analysis (FEA) is no longer a new technique in the fields of palaeontology,
anthropology, and evolutionary biology. It is nowadays a well-established technique within …

With increasing life expectancy and mortality rates, the burden of osteoporotic hip fractures
is continually on an upward trend. In terms of prevention, there are several osteoporosis …

This study from southern India showed that the trabecular microarchitecture and proximal
hip geometry were significantly impaired in postmenopausal women with diabetes as …

The study goal was to compare simple two-dimensional (2D) analyses of bone strength
using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) data to more sophisticated three-dimensional …

The goal of this study is to elucidate whether mechanobiological factors, including
mechanical loading patterns, presence of bone graft, and proximity to the periosteum …

In this paper we examined age-related and sex-specific deterioration in bone strength of the
proximal femur reflected in mechanical properties from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry …

Besides bone mineral density (BMD), structural and nano-level viscoelastic properties of
bone are also crucial determinants of bone strength. However, treatment induced viscosity …

Bone can adapt to its habitual load history at various levels of its hierarchical structural and
material organization. However, it is unclear how strongly a bone's structural characteristics …

In this study, the bone mineral density (BMD), geometry, macroscopic viscoelastic properties
and mechanical strength in five different groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (sham operated …

This paper explores the effects of aging on femoral neck (FN) anatomy in a study of women
aged 20–90years in relation to implications for FN fracture propensity in buckling. Five …
