Effect of trabecular bone loss on cortical strain rate during impact in an in vitro model of avian femur
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Osteoporotic hip fractures occur due to loss of cortical and trabecular bone mass and consequent degradation in whole bone strength. The direct cause of most fractures is a fall, and hence, characterizing the mechanical behavior of a...
