“…Finite element analysis (FEA) has been a powerful and popular tool for solving various engineering problems. Finite element analysis of hip fracture based on medical images is a promising tool to improve prediction of fracture risk in individuals (Koivumäki et al, 2012a, Koivumäki et al, 2012b, Naylor et al, 2013, Keyak et al, 2001a, Keyak et al, 2001b, Luo et al, 2011, Luo et al, 2013, Bessho et al, 2007, MacNeil and Boyd, 2008, Lotz et al, 1991, Dickinson et al, 2010, Rhee et al, 2009, Trabelsi et al, 2011, Orwoll et al, 2009, Cody et al, 1999, Cody et al, 2000, Dall'Ara et al, 2013, Lenaerts and Van Lenthe, 2009, Testi et al, 1999, Christen et al, 2010, Langton et al, 2009, Qian et al, 2009, Den Buijs and Dragomir-Daescu, 2011). Hip fracture is resulted by the applied force exceeding its strength.…”
