Sonic diagnosis of bone fracture healing--A preliminary study
(Elsevier, 1976)
The definition of bone fracture healing onset, progress and extent is a difficult clinical diagnosis. Available criteria of manual stability, X-ray appearance, symptomatic pain and passage of time are indeed valuable, but ...
Displacements of the menisci under joint load: An in vitro study in human knees
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
The purpose of this study was to test whether the menisci displace under joint compression combined with internal-external torques and anterior-posterior forces at fixed flexion angles. We further determined differences ...
The mechanical properties of trabecular bone: Dependence on anatomic location and function
(Elsevier, 1987)
In 1961, Evans and King documented the mechanical properties of trabecular bone from multiple locations in the proximal human femur. Since this time, many investigators have cataloged the distribution of trabecular bone ...
Do bone ingrowth processes produce a globally optimized structure?
(Elsevier, 1993)
A topology optimization program was applied to test the hypothesis that bone adaptation to porous coated implants produces a structure which minimizes the global strain energy density. The program was used to predict the ...
The limitations of canine trabecular bone as a model for human: A biomechanical study
(Elsevier, 1989)
Distal canine femurs were sectioned into 8mm cubic specimens. Orthogonal compression tests were performed to preyield in two or three directions and to failure in a third. Apparent density and ash weight density were ...
The relationship between the structural and orthogonal compressive properties of trabecular bone
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
In this study, cubes of trabecular bone with a wide range of structural properties were scanned on a micro-computed tomography system to produce complete three-dimensional digitizations from which morphological and ...
Trabecular bone remodeling: An experimental model
(Elsevier, 1991)
An experimental model, capable of inducing controlled stress fields to the distal femoral metaphyses of large dogs, is presented. This model utilized an implantable hydraulic device incorporating five loading cylinders and ...
Application of homogenization theory to the study of trabecular bone mechanics
(Elsevier, 1991)
It is generally accepted that the strength and stiffness of trabecular bone is strongly affected by trabecular microstructure. It has also been hypothesized that stress induced adaptation of trabecular bone is affected by ...
Fatigue failure of cortical bone screws
(Elsevier, 1983)
An experimental study of the fatigue life of cortical bone screws under conditions which simulated in vivo usage was performed. The two most important factors influencing fatigue life were axial screw tension (the force ...
