Abstract Comprising~ 20% of the volume, water is a key determinant of the mechanical
behavior of cortical bone. It essentially exists in two general compartments: within pores and …

Anatomy is the cornerstone of education for healthcare professionals with the use of human
material providing an excellent teaching tool in the modern curricula. The ability and quality …

Bone is a complex tissue constituted by a collagen matrix filled in with crystal of
hydroxyapatite (HAP). Bone mechanical properties are influenced by the collagen matrix …

Open-porous titanium scaffolds for large segmental bone defects offer advantages like early
weight-bearing and limited risk of implant failure. The objective of this experimental study …

In 2009, the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification started Thiel embalming on a
small scale to assess (i) the suitability for our current teaching in which long‐lasting …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sex, loading rate, and age on the
tensile material properties of human rib cortical bone over a wide range of subject …

The objective of this experimental finite element (FE) study was to assess the accuracy of a
simulation model estimate of the experimentally measured fracture load of the proximal …

Thiel‐fixed specimens have outstandingly lifelike visual and haptic properties. However, the
original Thiel method is expensive and requires an elaborate setup. It is therefore of …
