Mapping the Multi‐Directional Mechanical Properties of Bone in the Proximal Tibia

The remodeling behavior of bone is influenced by its mechanical environment. By mapping bone's mechanical properties in detail, orthopedic implants with respect to its mechanical properties could stimulate and harness remodeling to improve patient outcomes. In this study, multiaxial apparent modulus and strength of cadaveric proximal tibial bone are mapped and predicted from computed tomography (CT) derived apparent density. Group differences...
