Validation of homogenized finite element models of human metastatic vertebrae using digital volume correlation
Chiara Garavelli, Alessandra Aldieri, Marco Palanca +2
The incidence of vertebral fragility fracture is increased by the presence of preexisting pathologies such as metastatic disease. Computational tools could support the fracture pre…

Multi-vertebral CT-based FE models implementing linear isotropic population-based material properties for the intervertebral discs cannot accurately predict strains
Chiara Garavelli, Alessandra Aldieri, Marco Palanca +2
Vertebral fractures prediction in clinics lacks of accuracy. The most used scores have limitations in distinguishing between subjects at risk or not. Finite element (FE) models gen…
