In-Vivo Assessment of Femoral Bone Strength Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Based on Routine MDCT Imaging: A Preliminary Study on Patients with Vertebral Fractures
Fig 4
Left side: Load-displacement curves from the experimental data (failure load: 4743 N) as well as simulated forces extracted from the FEA models for both stress and strain criteria.
Right side: Plotted FEA based predicted strains in both stance and fall configuration compared to experimentally measured values.
