Reduced cortical bone thickness increases stress and strain in the female femoral diaphysis analyzed by a CT-based finite element method: Implications for the anatomical background of fatigue fracture of the femur

Reduced cortical bone thickness increases stress and strain in the female femoral diaphysis analyzed by a CT-based finite element method: Implications for the anatomical background of fatigue fracture of the femur

The incidence of hip fractures is increasing in Japan and is high among women older than 70 years. While osteoporosis has been identified as one of the causative factors of fracture, atypical femoral fracture has emerged as a potential complication of bisphosphonate therapy. Atypical femoral fractur...
