Abstract

Experimental determination of the elastic modulus and ultimate strength of human tibial trabecular bone as a function of metaphyseal location is presented. A 1 cm cubic matrix with planes parallel to the subchondral plate was defined on five fresh frozen cadaver tibias. Approximately 400, 7 mm X 10 mm cylindrical bone plugs were cut from the locations defined by the matrix and tested in uniaxial compressive stress at a strain rate of 0.1%S-1. Results of the study indicate that the trabecular bone properties vary as much as two orders of magnitude from one location to another. As might be predicted from Wolff's law, and noted by previous investigators, concentrations of strength arise from the medial and lateral metaphyseal cortices toward the major medial and lateral contact regions. These results may be valuable for improved analytical modeling and optimal prosthetic design.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
