Abstract Purpose of Review We reviewed advances over the past 3 years in assessment of
fracture risk based on CT scans, considering methods that use finite element models …

The use of opportunistic computed tomography (CT) image-based biomarkers may be a low-
cost strategy for screening older individuals at high risk for osteoporotic fractures and …

Bone strength is an important contributor to fracture risk. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD)
derived from dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used as a surrogate for bone …

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) currently represents the clinical gold standard for hip
fracture risk assessment. Nevertheless, it is characterised by a limited prediction accuracy …

Early assessment of hip fracture risk may play a critical role in designing preventive
mechanisms to reduce the occurrence of hip fracture in geriatric people. The loading …

Background This review explores the discriminative ability of fracture risk assessment tool
(FRAX) in major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) risk prediction and the …

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that increases the risk of bone fracture. Hip-fracture
risk screening methods based on flnite element analysis depend on segmented computed …

Background Hip fracture occurs when an applied force exceeds the force that the proximal
femur can support (the fracture load or “strength”) and can have devastating consequences …

Osteoporosis is characterised by the loss of bone density resulting in an increased risk of
fragility fractures. The clinical gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis is based on the …

The paper proposes a refined CT-based FE modelling strategy that implements a limit
analysis numerical procedure, namely the Elastic Compensation Method (ECM), to estimate …
