C Greenwood, JG Clement, AJ Dicken, et al., (2016) Fracture toughness of the cancellous bone of FNF femoral heads in relation to its microarchitecture. 22nd Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, July 10 - 13, 2016, Lyon, France
Abstract
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].
