Objective selection of bone mimetic materials using impact microindentation
This unified scale of material strength allows for the comparison of human bones, animal bones and synthetic materials. By stratifying bone mimetics into three categories (Low, Mid, and High) of material strength based on healthy reference interval of living human Bone Material Strength index values, this study introduces a simplified framework to guide targeted material selection in orthopedic research and surgical training.
