Finite element analyses predict the mechanical impact of cam-FAI surgery on ovine femurs

Maquer Ghislain , Burki Alexander , Zysset Philippe , Tannast Moritz

Cam femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) surgery restores hip range of motion by trimming the head–neck junction, which weakens the proximal femur. Sheep femurs resemble cam deformity and might be suitable for evaluating the impact of the surgical correction. Accordingly, this study addressed two questions: How does increasing head-neck resection affect ovine femoral strength? Are quantitative computed tomography (QCT)-based FE models able to discriminate the observed chan...

Impact of visceral adiposity on trabecular bone score in obese postmenopausal women: A cohort study

Moretti Antimo , Gimigliano Francesca , Calafiore Dario , Giamattei Maria Teresa , Iolascon Giovanni

Background: Higher BMI values are associated with greater bone mineral density (BMD) resulting in a site-specific protective effect for fragility fractures. However, pathophysiologic influence of central adiposity on bone quality may oppose the seemingly positive influence of a greater mechanical loading with higher body masses. The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of visceral fat on trabecular bone microarchitecture in postmenopausal obese women.<p class=...

Characterization of bone using ultrasonic waves and structural borne acoustic waves

Aygun Haydar , Barlow Chris , Yule Lawrence

An orthogonally-anisotropic Biot-Johnson-Allard (BJA) model in which the dependences of tortuosity on porosity and angle are determined empirically from acoustic measurements on bone replicas has been developed. Phase velocities and attenuations of the fast and slow waves versus frequency, porosity and angle of propagation have been predicted by using BJA model. The attenuation of the fast wave is below 0.5 Np/m throughout the frequency and propagation angle range. The attenua...

Elemental composition of compact human bone correlated with the osteocyte network

Roschger Andreas , Roschger Paul , Repp Felix , Wagermaier Wolfgang , Weinkamer Richard , Klaushofer Klaus , Fratzl Peter

Spatial distributions of major and minor chemical elements are supposed to change during tissue maturation and due to bone diseases. Previous studies suggested that osteocytes have the ability to interact with the bone matrix of their environment. For this interaction osteocytes make use of the big inner surface of the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (OLCN) in which they are accommodated. The aim of this study was to quantify spatial correlations between the elemental com...

Arthritis induces early bone structural degradation and mechanical weakness

Vidal Bruno , Cascao Rita , Finnila Mikko , Lopes Ines , Saarakkala Simo , Canhao Helena , Fonseca Joao

Background: We have previously found in the chronic SKG mouse model of arthritis that long standing (5 and 8 months) inflammation directly leads to high collagen bone turnover, disorganization of the collagen network, disturbed bone microstructure and ultimately declining in bone biomechanical properties. Our main goal was to study the effects of the inflammatory process on the microarchitecture and mechanical properties of bone in the early stages of arthritis development.</p...
