Abstract: In Part I we reported the results of linear finite element models of the proximal femur generated using geometric and constitutive data collected with quantitative computed tomography. These ...

Abstract: Over 90 percent of the more than 250,000 hip fractures that occur annually in the United States are the result of falls from standing height. Despite this, the stresses associated with femoral ...

Abstract: Stable internal fixation usually results in a unique histological healing pattern which involves direct cortical reconstruction and an absence of periosteal bridging callus. While it has been ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, linear finite element model was generated for an intact plexiglass tube with an attached six-hole stainless steel compression plate. We examined external forces representing ...
