Compressive fatigue behavior of human vertebral trabecular bone
Abstract
Damage accumulation under compressive fatigue loading is believed to contribute significantly to non-traumatic, age-related vertebral fractures in the human spine. Only few studies have explored trabecular bone fatigue behavior under compressive loading and none examined the influence of trabecular architecture on fatigue life. In this study, trabecular bone samples of human lumbar and thoracic vertebrae (4 donors from age 29 to 86, n=29) were scanned with a microCT system prior to compressive fatigue testing to determine morphology-mechanical relationships for this relevant loading mode. Inspired from previous fabric-based relationships for elastic properties and quasi-static strength of trabecular bone, a simple power relationship between volume fraction, fabric eigenvalue, applied stress and the number of cycles to failure is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate a high correlation for this relationship (R2=0.95) and detect a significant contribution of the degree of anisotropy towards prediction of fatigue life. Step-wise regression for total and residual strains at failure suggested a weak, but significant correlation with volume fraction. From the obtained results, we conclude that the applied stress normalized by volume fraction and axial fabric eigenvalue can estimate fatigue life of human vertebral trabecular bone in axial compressive loading.

“This asymptomatic characteristic suggests that repetitive loading lower than ultimate loads, associated with low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, may be causing these fractures (Keaveny et al., 1999; Kopperdahl et al., 2000).”

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.
