Comparison of proximal femur deformations, failures and fractures in quasi-static and inertially-driven simulations of a sideways fall from standing : an experimental study utilizing novel fall simulation, digital image correlation, and development of digital volume correlation techniques
Knowledge of proximal femur failure mechanics has a pivotal role to play in predicting who might suffer a hip fracture. Previous researchers of sideways falls resulting in hip fracture have investigated the roles of several bone parameters such as bone mineral density and morphology, as well as diff...
