Mechanical torque measurement in the proximal femur correlates to failure load and bone mineral density ex vivo
Knowledge of local bone quality is essential for surgeons to determine operation techniques. A device for intraoperative measurement of local bone quality has been developed by the AO-Research Foundation (DensiProbe®). We used this device to experimentally measure peak breakaway torque of trabecular...
