Bone fragility increases fracture risk, especially with age and osteoporosis. This review covers biomechanical tests to assess bone

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Bone fragility is characterized by an elevated risk of fractures.
  • Factors like advanced age and conditions such as osteoporosis significantly heighten fracture risk.
  • Understanding osteoporosis effects and treatments necessitates a clear description of bone tissue's mechanical behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review biomechanical testing methods for evaluating bone tissue.
  • To assess the bone's capacity to resist various mechanical forces.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established biomechanical tests.
  • Analysis of methods for testing whole bones or specific components (cortical and trabecular).
  • Evaluation of tests for torsional, compressive, tensile, and bending forces.

Main Results:

  • Identified and categorized various biomechanical tests applicable to bone tissue.
  • Detailed the methodologies for assessing mechanical properties under different loading conditions.
  • Highlighted the importance of component-specific analysis (cortical vs. trabecular).

Conclusions:

  • Biomechanical testing is crucial for understanding bone fragility and osteoporosis.
  • A range of tests are available to characterize bone's mechanical properties.
  • Selecting appropriate tests is vital for accurate assessment of bone strength and treatment efficacy.
