Predicting Proximal Femoral Strength Using Structural Engineering Models
Abstract
Hip fracture related to osteoporosis and metastatic disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. An accurate and precise method of predicting proximal femoral strength and fracture location would be useful for research and clinical studies of hip fracture. The goals of this study were to develop a structural modeling technique that accurately predicts proximal femoral strength; to evaluate the accuracy and precision of this predicted strength on an independent data set; and to evaluate the ability of this technique to predict fracture location. Fresh human cadaveric proximal femora with and without metastatic lesions were studied using computed tomography scan-based three-dimensional structural models and mechanical testing to failure under single-limb stance-type loading. The models understated proximal femoral strength by an average of 444 N, and the precision of the predicted strength was +/- 1900 N. Therefore, the ability to predict hip strength in an individual subject is limited primarily by the level of precision, rather than accuracy. This level of precision is likely to be sufficient for many studies of hip strength. Finally, these models predict fractures involving the subcapital and cervical regions, consistent with most fractures produced experimentally under single-limb stance-type loading.

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.
