The current study is proposing a design envelope for porous Ti-6Al-4V alloy femoral stems
to survive under fatigue loads. Numerical computational analysis of these stems with a body …

The main objective of this study is to design titanium alloy femoral stems with cubic porous
structures that will be able to reduce stress shielding and promote stem stability. These …

The present paper addresses femur failure mechanics, by numerically investigating the
influence of brittle/quasi-brittle bone constitutive description when combined with several …

Several medical imaging techniques are used in the orthopedic biomechanics field. These
techniques provide the exact geometry, material properties, and the main parameters …

As fractures heal, immature callus formed in the hematoma is calcified by osteoblasts and
altered to mature bone. Although the bone strength in the fracture-healing process cannot …

Pathologic fracture is caused by bone diseases, which is common in middle-aged and
elderly adults. Compromised bone strength is the leading contributor to this type of fracture …

The incidence of hip fractures is increasing in Japan and is high among women older than
70 years. While osteoporosis has been identified as one of the causative factors of fracture …

This paper aims to provide insight into the current state-of-the-art literature available for
investigating the biomechanical properties of the femur bone. Furthermore, this …

OBJECTIVE. Nontraumatic subchondral fracture of the femoral head (FH) is often seen in
elderly patients with osteoporosis and acetabular dysplasia. Although this injury can also …

Background It is still unclear whether femoral fracture risk is positively or negatively altered
in individuals with overweight. Considering the lack of studies including men with …
