How accurately do finite element models predict the fall impact response of ex vivo specimens augmented by prophylactic intramedullary nailing? Open
Hip fracture prevention approaches like prophylactic augmentation devices have been proposed to strengthen the femur and prevent hip fracture in a fall scenario. The aim of this study was to validate the finite element model (FEM) of speci…

Geometric determinants of the mechanical behavior of image‐based finite element models of the intervertebral disc Open
The intervertebral disc is an important structure for load transfer through the spine. Its injury and degeneration have been linked to pain and spinal fractures. Disc injury and spine fractures are associated with high stresses; however, t…

The efficacy of femoral augmentation for hip fracture prevention using ceramic-based cements: A preliminary experimentally-driven finite element investigation Open
Femoral fractures due to sideways falls continue to be a major cause of concern for the elderly. Existing approaches for the prevention of these injuries have limited efficacy. Prophylactic femoral augmentation systems, particularly those …

Fast and robust femur segmentation from computed tomography images for patient-specific hip fracture risk screening Open
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that increases the risk of bone fracture. Hip-fracture risk screening methods based on finite element analysis depend on segmented computed tomography (CT) images; however, current femur segmentation m…

Prophylactic augmentation implants in the proximal femur for hip fracture prevention: An in silico investigation of simulated sideways fall impacts Open
Femoral fractures from sideways falls in the elderly are associated with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Approaches to prevent these catastrophic injuries include pharmacological treatments, which have limited efficacy. Proph…

Finite element derived femoral strength is a better predictor of hip fracture risk than aBMD in the AGES Reykjavik study cohort Open
Hip fractures associated with a high economic burden, loss of independence, and a high rate of post-fracture mortality, are a major health concern for modern societies. Areal bone mineral density is the current clinical metric of choice wh…

Additively manufactured mesh-type titanium structures for cranial implants: E-PBF vs. L-PBF Open
A patient-specific titanium-reinforced calcium phosphate (CaP–Ti) cranial implant has recently shown promising clinical results. Currently, its mesh-type titanium structure is additively manufactured using laser beam powder bed fusion (L-P…

Implicit and explicit finite element models predict the mechanical response of calcium phosphate-titanium cranial implants Open
The structural integrity of cranial implants is of great clinical importance, as they aim to provide cerebral protection after neurosurgery or trauma. With the increased use of patient-specific implants, the mechanical response of each imp…

On the internal reaction forces, energy absorption, and fracture in the hip during simulated sideways fall impact Open
The majority of hip fractures have been reported to occur as a result of a fall with impact to the greater trochanter of the femur. Recently, we developed a novel cadaveric pendulum-based hip impact model and tested two cadaveric femur-pel…

A novel sideways fall simulator to study hip fractures ex vivo Open
Falls to the side are the leading cause of hip fractures in the elderly. The load that a person experiences during a fall cannot be measured with volunteers for ethical reasons. To evaluate injurious loads, while considering relevant energ…
