Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry based biofidelic finite element models for simulating falls to the hip: Impact of trochanteric soft tissue thickness on fracture risk
Biofidelic finite element models built using image data captures population-based differences in hip fracture risk for the three main ethnic groups in Singapore. In the absence of 3D optical scans, predicting soft tissue shapes based on whole-body DXA scans, commonly available in clinical practice, yields similar fracture predictions based on simulated falls.
