Comparison of single vertebra models including endplates for failure load estimation
Résumé
Vertebral fractures are frequent especially with rising age due to loss of bone density. Voxel-based models of bone failure have been proposed to estimate failure load of single vertebrae including vertebral endplates, but there is no international standard for these Finite Element (FE) models. One methodology, based on non-linear voxel FE model, is known to show good results in predicting incident vertebral fractures. The aim of this study is to compare our tetrahedral models to voxel-based models found in literature.
