Using finite element models under multiple loading conditions to improve the association between radius and tibia microarchitecture and prevalent osteoporotic vertebral fracture
Bone microarchitecture differences at the tibia and radius, measurable by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) exist between individuals with a prevalent vertebral fracture and healthy controls. As fracture is a result of mechanical failure, FE models of these sites …
