Trabecular bone is a highly porous, heterogeneous, and anisotropic material which can be
found at the epiphyses of long bones and in the vertebral bodies. Studying the mechanical …

A review about design, manufacture, and mechanobiology of biodegradable scaffolds for
bone tissue engineering is given. First, fundamental aspects about bone tissue engineering …

Abstract Purpose of Review Fracture fixation aims to provide stability and promote healing,
but remains challenging in unstable and osteoporotic fractures with increased risk of …

Motivation Single-centre studies in medical domain are often characterised by limited
samples due to the complexity and high costs of patient data collection. Machine learning …

New metal alloys and metal fabrication strategies are likely to benefit future skeletal implant
strategies. These metals and fabrication strategies were looked at from the point of view of …

Dental implants are mostly fabricated of titanium. Potential problems associated with these
implants are discussed in the literature, for example, overloading of the jawbone during …

An experimental–numerical study was performed to investigate the relationships between
computed tomography (CT)-density and ash density, and between ash density and apparent …

Being able to predict the mechanical properties of vertebrae in patients with osteoporosis
and other relevant pathologies is essential to prevent fractures and to develop the most …

Finite element has been used for more than four decades to study and evaluate the
mechanical behaviour total joint replacements. In Huiskes seminal paper “Failed innovation …

Numerous studies have shown that human bone has the ability to remodel itself to better
adapt to its biomechanical environment by changing both its material properties and …
