Acoustic emission in restressing human bone tissue

Assessment of Hip and Knee Joints and Implants Using Acoustic Emission Monitoring: A Scoping Review

“…The fact that AE monitoring is noninvasive, without harmful side effects associated with radiation exposure, adds to its application in the medical field and particularly in orthopedics. Early works in the application of AE monitoring in orthopedics date back to the midseventies, in topics such as the study of AEs in bones during stretching and re-stressing [7], [8], bone fracture healing in dogs, and osteoporotic bone microstructure and implant behavior [9]. Even though AE monitoring in applied medicine has not been used as extensively as it is in industry [5], a number of studies recently indicated its utility in the assessment of joints due to cartilage and bone deterioration e.g.…”

Assessment of bone condition by acoustic emission technique: A review

“…Hanagud, S., et al [45] using bovine femora first demonstrated detectable acoustic emissions from bone. His work made the way for other investigators to use the AE technique for characterization of bone and also to explore the possibilities of using it as a tool for clinical orthopaedicians to detect bone abnornamilities [46,47,48,49,50]. Knet-s, I. V., et al [46] has shown that the character of the fracture surface depends on the orientation of the load relative to the direction of the osteons, the rate of loading, and the geometrical shape of the actual sample.…”
