Direct ink writing (DIW) is a promising extrusion-based 3D printing technology, which
employs an ink-deposition nozzle to fabricate 3D scaffold structures with customizable ink …

Introduction Patients suffering from osteoporosis-associated fragility fractures of the sacrum
(FFS; also termed sacral insufficiency fractures) are increasingly observed. They have …

Osteoporosis affects an increasing number of people every year and patient specific finite
element analysis of the femur has been proposed to identify patients that could benefit from …

Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) models are receiving considerable attention in the literature.
Multivariate regression models are a useful tool of the multivariate analysis, which takes into …

Background: The triad of 3D design, 3D printing, and xReality technologies is explored and
exploited to collaboratively realize patient-specific products in a timely manner with an …

Metastatic disease in bone is characterized by highly amorphous and variable lesion
geometry, with increased fracture risk. Assumptions of idealized lesion geometry made in …

The advent of technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiation
therapy has led to the need for phantom materials that are capable of producing tissue-like …

Background and objectives: Femurs affected by metastatic bone disease (MBD) frequently
undergo surgery to prevent impending pathologic fractures due to clinician-perceived …

While the incidence of hip fractures has declined during the last decades, the incidence of
acetabular fractures resulting from low-energy sideways falls has increased, and the …

Abstract Evaluation of spinal cage structures had been done using Computed tomography-
based finite element analysis (CT/FEA) with homogenous bone properties. However, it is …
