HR-pQCT parameters of the distal radius correlate with the bending strength of the radial diaphysis

3D printed trabeculae conditionally reproduce the mechanical properties of the actual trabeculae - A preliminary study

“…The FEM model is a component of discrete elements, and its mechanical behavior is described by a mathematical equation. However, every FEM simulation on bone structure must assume mechanical parameters such as elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio in advance and finally be validated with in vitro mechanical testing to confirm that accurate mechanical properties are predicted ( Ni et al., 2016 ; Uppuganti et al., 2022 ; Zhou et al., 2016 ). One can conduct the confirmation on cadaveric samples but barely on a living body because of the medical ethics.…”
