1. Distal femur fracture in the elderly patient
Abstract : Studies on the epidemiology of distal femur fractures show a vast increase in low-energy trauma-associated fractures in older ages. Age-related changes in bones lead to loss of bone matrix and increased porosity, which entails an increased risk for fractures and different fracture patterns than in younger individuals. READ MORE

2. Hip fractures : A biomechanical analysis of fracture strength prediction, prevention, and repair
Abstract : Due to the aging population, hip fracture incidence has been increasing over the past decades. Measurements of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry are the gold standard for hip fracture risk assessment, where patients with a low bone density have a high risk of fracture.

3. Multiscale Modelling of Proximal Femur Growth : Importance of Geometry and Influence of Load
Abstract : Longitudinal growth of long bone occurs at growth plates by a process called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is affected by both biological and mechanical factors. READ MORE

5. The periprosthetic femur fracture. A study from the Swedish National Hip Arthroplasty Register
Abstract : Post-operative periprosthetic femur fracture is a severe complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA).The incidence of periprosthetic femur fractures seems to be increasing because of several factors,including a growing population with THAs and an increasing life expectancy. READ MORE
