Microindentation – a tool for measuring cortical bone stiffness?
OBJECTIVES Microindentation has the potential to measure the stiffness of an individual patient's bone. Bone stiffness plays a crucial role in the press-fit stability of orthopaedic implants. Arming surgeons with accurate bone stiffness information may reduce surgical complications including periprosthetic fractures. The question addressed with this systematic review is whether microindentation...
متن کاملCaveolin-1 knockout mice have increased bone size and stiffness.
UNLABELLED The skeletal phenotype of the cav-1(-/-) mouse, which lacks caveolae, was examined. muCT and histology showed increased trabecular and cortical bone caused by the gene deletion. Structural changes were accompanied by increased mechanical properties. Cell studies showed that cav-1 deficiency leads to increased osteoblast differentiation. These results suggest that cav-1 helps to maint...
متن کاملEvaluation of one third of distal radius bone density in patients with primary osteoporosis
Background: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone in the world, and has hit about 200 million people around the world and it increases the risk of fractures. More than 5 million osteoporotic fractures occur annually in the world. Bone mineral density is the standard method of diagnosis of this disease. In this method, proximal of femur (neck) and lumbar vertebra bones (L...
متن کاملMSK: anatomy, function, pathology and challenges Bone: from cortical bone to osteoporosis
(1) Clinical Significance Bone strength governs fracture risk and reflects the integration of two main features: bone mass or density and bone quality. Bone mineral density (BMD) is expressed as grams of mineral per area or volume and in any given individual is determined by peak bone mass and amount of bone loss. Bone quality refers to trabecular bone architecture, turnover, damage accumulatio...
متن کاملUsing Micro-CT Derived Bone Microarchitecture to Analyze Bone Stiffness – A Case Study on Osteoporosis Rat Bone
Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) images can be used to quantitatively represent bone geometry through a range of computed attenuation-based parameters. Nonetheless, those parameters remain indirect indices of bone microarchitectural strength and require further computational tools to interpret bone structural stiffness and potential for mechanical failure. Finite element analysis (FEA) can ...
