Assessment of Hip Fracture Risk Using Cross-Section Strain Energy Determined by QCT-Based Finite Element Modeling

Figure 14

Number of possible hip fractures occurring at the smallest femoral neck cross-section (SFN CS), the intertrochanteric cross-section (IntT CS), and the subtrochanteric cross-section (SubT CS) of 60 right femurs and 60 left femurs during the sideways fall, that is, cases that have the FRI higher than one (FRI > 1) at one of the three critical cross-sections.
