Stress and strain distribution within the intact femur: compression or bending?
Abstract
The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that the intact femur is loaded predominately in compression. The study was composed of two parts: a finite element analysis of the intact femur to assess if a compressive stress distribution could be achieved in the diaphyseal region of the femur using physiological muscle and joint contact forces; a simple radiological study to assess the in vivo deflections of the femur during one legged stance. The results of this investigation strongly support the hypothesis that the femur is loaded primarily in compression, and not bending as previously thought. The finite element analysis demonstrated that a compressive stress distribution in the diaphyseal femur can be achieved, producing a stress distribution which appears to be consistent with the femoral cross-sectional geometry. The finite element analysis also predicted that for a compressive load case there would be negligible deflections of the femoral head. The radiological study confirmed this, with no measurable in vivo deflection of the femur occurring during one legged stance.

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.
