Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease in the USA and the world. It is a
subclinical condition until complicated by fracture (s). These fractures place an enormous …

Patients living with osteoporosis are projected to increase dramatically in the next decade.
Alongside the forecasted increased societal and economic burden, we will live a crisis of …

Purpose The purpose of this paper was to review the available approaches for bone
strength assessment, osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk prediction, and to provide …

The surgeon general of the USA defines osteoporosis as “a skeletal disorder characterized
by compromised bone strength, predisposing to an increased risk of fracture.” Measuring …

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak, porous and fracture more easily. While a
vertebral fracture is the archetypal fracture of osteoporosis, it is also the most difficult to …

Metastatic breast, prostate, lung, and other cancers often affect bone, causing pain,
increasing fracture risk, and decreasing function. Management of metastatic bone disease …

Abstract Purpose of Review Image-based finite element analysis (FEA) to predict and
understand the biomechanical response has become an essential methodology in …

For a proper assessment of osteoporotic fragility fracture prediction, all aspects regarding
bone mineral density, bone texture, geometry and information about strength are necessary …

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 …

Osteoporotic hip fractures are a major healthcare problem. Fall severity and bone strength
are important risk factors of hip fracture. This study aims to obtain a mechanistic explanation …
