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 …

The knee is the most complex joint in the human body, including bony structures like the
femur, tibia, fibula, and patella, and soft tissues like menisci, ligaments, muscles, and …

Microdamage accumulated through sustained periods of cyclic loading or single
overloading events contributes to bone fragility through a reduction in stiffness and strength …

This paper addresses a potential concern faced by the majority of aged ones left
unaccompanied at home. Any untoward fall owing to poor health conditions or slippery …

Femoroplasty is a procedure where bone cement is injected percutaneously into a
weakened proximal femur. Uncertainty exists whether femoroplasty provides sufficient …

Autonomous finite element analyses (AFE) based on CT scans predict the biomechanical
response of femurs during stance and sidewise fall positions. We combine AFE with patient …

Hip fractures following a low-impact fall are common in the elderly. Finite element (FE)
models of the proximal femur can improve the prediction of fracture risk over current clinical …

A dynamic phase-field fracture finite element model is applied to discretized high-resolution
three-dimensional computed tomography images of human trabecular bone to analyse rapid …

Fragility fractures that occur after a fall from a standing height or less are almost always due
to osteoporosis, which remains underdiagnosed and untreated. Patient-specific finite …

Sideways fall-induced hip fracture is a primary global health concern among the elderly.
Existing impact models for predicting peak hip impact force mostly consider the human body …
