Osteoporotic hip fracture, mostly induced in falls among the elderly, is a major health burden
over the world. The impact force applied to the hip is an important factor in determining the …

Abstract Purpose of Review We re-evaluated clinical applications of image-to-FE models to
understand if clinical advantages are already evident, which proposals are promising, 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 …

Hip fractures are a major health problem with high socio-economic costs. Subject-specific
finite element (FE) models have been suggested to improve the fracture risk assessment, as …

Osteoporotic fracture incidence represents a major social and economic concern in the
modern society, where the progressive graying of the population involves an highly …

Osteoporotic bone fractures reduce quality of life and drastically increase mortality.
Minimally irradiating imaging techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) …

Several medical imaging techniques are used in the orthopedic biomechanics field. These
techniques provide the exact geometry, material properties, and the main parameters …

Fracture is considered a critical clinical endpoint in skeletal pathologies including
osteoporosis and bone metastases. However, current clinical guidelines are limited with …

We reviewed the experimental and clinical evidence that hip bone strength estimated by
BMD and/or finite element analysis (FEA) reflects the actual strength of the proximal femur …

Physical exercise induces spatially heterogeneous bone changes in the proximal femur.
Recent advances have enabled 3D dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)-based finite …
