    Fracture toughness of the cancellous bone of FNF femoral heads in relation to its microarchitecture
    (European Society of Biomechanics, 2016-07) Greenwood, Charlene; Clements, J. G.; Dicken, A. J.; Evans, J. Paul O.; Lyburn, Iain Douglas; Martin, R. M.; Rogers, Keith; Stone, N.; Adams, G.; Zioupos, Peter
    This study considers the relationship between microarchitecture and mechanical properties for cancellous bone specimens collected from a cohort of patients who had suffered fractured necks of femur. OP is an acute skeletal condition with huge socioeconomic impact [1] and it is associated with changes in both bone quantity and quality [2], which affect greatly the strength and toughness of the tissue [3].
