Abstract

Vertical shear fracture models represent a new direction for analyzing fracture risk that has been understudied to date. Vertical shear fractures have not been thoroughly analyzed using finite element modeling, thus it is unclear whether these models can accurately predict the location of these fractures. This study showed that patient specific finite element modeling is able to accurately predict the location of fracture in a vertical shear model of the human femur.
