Abstract:Computational fracture analysis has become a growing branch of orthopedic research. Particularly, the associated methods provide reliable tools for the analysis of 3D CT-based models of bone. This paper reports the results of such analyses for 15 human femora (healthy and osteoporotic) under different loading orientations (85 different analysis cases). A new method was developed for the calculation of the density distribution in the models from ordinary clinical CT images without calibration phantom. This meth… Show more
