Relating age and micro-architecture with apparent-level elastic constants: a micro-finite element study of female cortical bone from the anterior femoral midshaft
This study, conducted in collaboration with Melbourne and Saskatchewan, uses imaging and modelling to show for the first time that the preferred orientation of the elastic properties of cortical bone increases with age. It permits researchers to assign anisotropic properties to full bone simulation models, DoI:10.1016/j.injury.2012.07.001. The paper contributed substantially to the development of a £1.3M project (EP/K036939/1) in collaboration with Liverpool and Durham. It also led to the successful delivery of an industrial project funded by the medical devices industry, Stryker UK (Eric Garling (email available), £170k) on hip modelling.
