Performance of microstructural finite element models in predicting the effective modulus of trabecular bone

Trabecular bone is made up of an irregular, interconnecting framework of rod- and plate-like struts [1], therefore the mechanical properties of the bone may only be determined through experimental testing or detailed Finite Element modelling. Experimental testing requires a sample to be removed from...
