Abstract

A finite element modeling (FEM) technique has been developed to predict femoral mechanical integrity and fracture risk in healthy subjects and osteoporotic patients. Two cadaveric femurs are loaded to failure by displacement-controlled loading. Results are then compared to the failure predicted by FEM of the same specimens. The models are derived from three dimensional quantitative computed tomography images. Moreover, the reaction forces due to applied displacement on the proximal femur are simulated.
