Development of an Inertia-Driven Model of Sideways Fall for Detailed Study of Femur Fracture Mechanics

A new method for laboratory testing of human proximal femora in conditions simulating a sideways fall was developed. Additionally, in order to analyze the strain state in future cadaveric tests, digital image correlation (DIC) was validated as a tool for strain field measurement on the bone of the f...
