Computational predictions of stiffness and peri-implant loading of screw-bone constructs are
highly relevant to investigate and improve bone fracture fixations. Homogenized finite …

Homogenised finite element (FE) analyses are able to predict osteoporosis‐related bone
fractures and become useful for clinical applications. The predictions of FE analyses depend …

Prosthetic implants, particularly hip endoprostheses, often lead to stress shielding because
of a mismatch in compliance between the bone and the implant material, adversely affecting …

Inverse bone (re) modeling (IBR) can infer physiological loading conditions from the bone
microstructure. IBR scales unit loads, imposed on finite element (FE) models of a bone, such …

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is an inherited form of bone fragility characterised by impaired
synthesis of type I collagen, altered trabecular bone architecture and reduced bone mass …

Patient-specific finite element (FE) models of bone require the assignment of heterogeneous
material properties extracted from the subject's computed tomography (CT) images. Though …

Introduction HR-pQCT based micro finite element (μ FE) analyses are considered as “gold
standard” for virtual biomechanical analyses of peripheral bone sites such as the distal …

In this work, explicit expressions to estimate all the transversely isotropic elastic constants of
lamellar bone as a function of the volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) are provided. The …

The shape of the talus, its internal structure, and its mechanical properties are important in
determining talar behavior during loading, which may be significant for the design of surgical …

Being able to predict bone fracture or implant stability needs a proper constitutive model of
trabecular bone at the macroscale in multiaxial, non-monotonic loading modes. Its …
