Clinical implementation of quantitative computed tomography-based finite element analysis (QCT/FEA) of proximal femur stiffness and strength to assess the likelihood of proximal femur (hip) fractures requires a unified modeling procedure, consistency in predicting bone mechanical properties, and validation with realistic test data that represent typical hip fractures, specifically, a sideways fall on the hip. We, therefore, used two sets (nÂ =Â 9, each) of cadaveric femora with bone densities varying from normal to osteoporotic to build, refine, and validate a new class of QCT/FEA models for hip fracture under loading conditions that simulate a sideways fall on the hip. Convergence requirements of finite element models of the first set of femora led to the creation of a new meshing strategy and a robust process to model proximal femur geometry and material properties from QCT images. We used a second set of femora to cross-validate the model parameters derived from the first set. Refined models were validated experimentally by fracturing femora using specially designed fixtures, load cells, and high speed video capture. CT image reconstructions of fractured femora were created to classify the fractures. The predicted stiffness (cross-validation R (2)Â =Â 0.87), fracture load (cross-validation R (2)Â =Â 0.85), and fracture patterns (83% agreement) correlated well with experimental data.

Robust QCT/FEA models of proximal femur stiffness and fracture load during a sideways fall on the hip.

Nous avons, par cons&eacute;quent, utilis&eacute; deux ensembles (n = 9, chaque) de f&eacute;murs cadav&eacute;riques avec densit&eacute; osseuse variant de normal &agrave; ost&eacute;oporotique &agrave; construire, affiner et valider une nouvelle classe de mod&egrave;les QCT/FEA pour fracture de la hanche sous chargement des conditions qui simulent une chute sur le c&ocirc;t&eacute; sur la hanche.

Implementazione clinica di quantitativi calcolati analisi agli elementi finiti basati su tomografia computerizzata (QCT/FEA) di resistenza e solidit&agrave; per valutare la probabilit&agrave; di (anca) fratture del femore prossimale del femore prossimale richiede una procedura di modellazione unificato, coerenza nel predire le propriet&agrave; meccaniche di osso, e la convalida con dati di prova realistici che rappresentano le tipiche fratture dell&#39;anca, in particolare, una laterali caduta sull&#39;anca. Abbiamo, quindi, utilizzato due set (n = 9, ciascuna) di cadaverico femori con densit&agrave; ossea varia da normale a osteoporotici a costruire, affinare e convalidare una nuova classe di modelli QCT/FEA per frattura dell&#39;anca sotto condizioni che simulano una caduta lateralmente sul fianco di carico. Requisiti di convergenza dei modelli agli elementi finiti del primo set dei femori ha portato alla creazione di una nuova strategia di ingranamento e un robusto processo di propriet&agrave; geometria e materiale del femore prossimale modello da immagini QCT. Abbiamo utilizzato un secondo set di femori per la convalida incrociata i parametri del modello derivati dal primo set. Modelli raffinati sono stati convalidati sperimentalmente da fratturazione femori utilizzando apparecchi appositamente progettati, celle di carico e cattura di video ad alta velocit&agrave;. Ricostruzioni di immagini CT del femore fratturate sono stati creati per classificare le fratture. Il predetta rigidit&agrave; (cross-validazione R (2) = 0.87), carico di rottura (cross-validazione R (2) = 0,85) e frattura modelli (83% accordo) correlati anche con dati sperimentali.
