Increased use of reconstruction procedures in orthopedics, due to trauma, tumor, deformity,
degeneration and an aging population, has caused a blossom, not only in surgical …

Osteoporosis is becoming an increasingly important public health issue, and effective
treatments to prevent fragility fractures are available. Osteoporosis imaging is of critical …

In this study, the Voronoi tessellation method has been used to design novel bone like three
dimension (3D) porous scaffolds. The Voronoi method has been processed with computer …

One outstanding issue regarding the relationship between elastic modulus and density for
trabecular bone is whether the relationship depends on anatomic site. To address this, on …

In vivo methods used to study human body composition continue to be developed, along
with more advanced reference models that utilize the information obtained with these …

▪ Abstract Trabecular bone is a complex material with substantial heterogeneity. Its elastic
and strength properties vary widely across anatomic sites, and with aging and disease …

Understanding the dependence of human trabecular bone strength behavior on anatomic
site provides insight into structure–function relationships and is essential to the increased …

Exploring the basic mechanical principles of bone-related research and mechanical testing
of bone specimens, this book has 42 chapters divided into three major sections that cover …

Background Bone mass, geometry, and tissue material properties contribute to bone
structural integrity. Thus, bone strength arises from both bone quantity and quality. Bone …

Trabecular bone holds the utmost importance due to its significance regarding early bone
loss. Diseases like osteoporosis greatly affect the structure of the Trabecular bone which …
