Characterization of mechanical stiffness using additive manufacturing and finite element analysis: potential tool for bone health assessment

Abstract Background Bone health and fracture risk are known to be correlated with stiffness. Both micro-finite element analysis (μFEA) and mechanical testing of additive manufactured phantoms are useful approaches for estimating mechanical properties of trabecular bone-like structures. However, it i...
