Abstract

To investigate the relationship between BMD, micro-structural and mechanical properties in intertrochanteric trabecular bone, the PIXI-mus2 system, micro-CT and FE model were used. The purpose of this study were (1) to apply high-resolution imaging techniques (micro-CT imaging) in combination with new computer modeling techniques (FEA) to quantify 3D microstructural and biomechanical properties of trabecular bone in the intertrochanteric region, and (2) determine if the prediction of bone elastic constant can be improved with structural index.
