MicroCT-based finite element models were used to compute power law relations for uniaxial compressive yield stress versus bone volume fraction for 78 cores of human trabecular bone from five anatomic sites. The leading coefficient of the power law for calcaneus differed from those for most of the other sites (p < 0.05). However, after normalizing by site-specific mean values, neither the leading coefficient (p > 0.5) nor exponent (p > 0.5) differed among sites, suggesting that a given percentage deviation from mean bone volume fraction has the same mechanical consequence for all sites investigated. These findings help explain the success of calcaneal x-ray and ultrasound measurements for predicting hip fracture risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
