Osteoporotic fracture healing is critical to clinical outcome in terms of functional recovery,
morbidity, and quality of life. Osteoporosis treatments may affect bone repair, so insights into …

Osteoporotic hip fracture is associated with high mortality and morbidity and often results in
a loss of mobility and independence. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral …

The “PTH and Alendronate” or “PaTH” study compared the effects of PTH (1‐84) and/or
alendronate (ALN) in 238 postmenopausal, osteoporotic women. We performed finite …

The femoral neck‐shaft angle (NSA) varies among modern humans but measurement
problems and sampling limitations have precluded the identification of factors contributing to …

We studied HSA measurements in relation to hip fracture risk in 4806 individuals (2740
women). Hip fractures (n= 147) occurred at the same absolute levels of bone instability in …

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 …

Finite element (FE) analysis based on quantitative computed tomography (QCT) images is
an emerging tool to estimate bone strength in a specific patient or specimen; however, it is …

Objective To evaluate the recent epidemiology of hip fractures in the US. Methods We
identified hip fracture cases from the 2008 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample …

Introduction Hip protectors represent a promising strategy for preventing fall-related hip
fractures. However, clinical trials have yielded conflicting results due, in part, to lack of …

Osteoporotic hip fracture, mostly induced in falls among the elderly, is a major health burden
over the world. The impact force applied to the hip is an important factor in determining the …
