... Colles’ fracture finite element model quantitative computed tomography mechanical testing Fracture prevention is the primary clinical goal for osteoporosis treatment. Intimately linked to this goal is the ability to noninvasively assess the mechanical competence of bone. This can be done using...

... of extrinsic factors (load orientation and load distribution between scaphoid and lunate) and intrinsic bone properties (age-related changes in fracture properties and bone geometry) on the Colles’ fracture load. Seven three-dimensional finite element models of radius were created, and the fracture loads were...
