An investigation of tensile strength of Ti6Al4V titanium screw inside femur bone using finite element and experimental tests

The geometric optimization of orthopedic screws can considerably increase their orthopedic efficiency. Due to the high geometric parameters of orthopedic screws, a finite element simulation is an effective tool for analyzing and forecasting the effect of the parameters on the load-bearing capacity of different types of screws and bones. Thus, in the present study, the tensile strength of a typi...

An investigation of the effects of osteoporosis, impact intensity and orientation on human femur injuries: a parametric finite element study

Objective: Femur is the strongest, longest and heaviest bone in the human body. Due to the great importance of femur in human body, its injury may cause large numbers of disabilities and mortality. Considering various effective parameters such as mechanical properties, geometry, loading configuration, etc. can propel the study to the trustable results.. Methods: A 3D finite element model of the...

Failure in the Proximal Femur in Simulated Sideways Fall Impact

The biomechanics of hip fractures has been studied by many authors in the past; however, predictions of the fracture location and character remain difficult and speculative. The aims of the present study are threefold. First, to investigate whether proximal femur trochanteric and cervical geometrical metrics correlate with outcomes of dynamic drop tower testing carried out on human donor femurs...

Analyses of trabecular bone failure

Due to remodeling of bone architecture an optimal structure is created that minimizes bone mass and maximizes strength. In the case of osteoporotic vertebral bodies, however, this process can create over-adaptation, making them vulnerable for nonhabitual loads. In a recent study, micro-finite element models of a healthy and an osteoporotic human proximal femur were analyzed for the stance phase...

Load distribution in the healthy and osteoporotic human proximal femur during a fall to the side.

Due to remodeling of bone architecture, an optimal structure is created that minimizes bone mass and maximizes strength. In the case of osteoporotic vertebral bodies, however, this process can create over-adaptation, making them vulnerable for non-habitual loads. In a recent study, micro-finite element models of a healthy and an osteoporotic human proximal femur were analyzed for the stance pha...
