Abstract:

Trabecular fatigue fractures are observed as compressive stress fractures in the proximal femur, vertebrae, calcaneus and tibia. These fractures are often preceded by buckling and bending of microstructural elements. But the etiology of these bone fractures is still poorly understood in biomechanical perspective. In the present work, it comes to predicting the buckling mechanism trabeculae in progress remodeling bone and in function of the boundary conditions without experimental data.
