A bilinear constitutive model with asymmetric tissue yield strains in tension and compression was applied to simulate failure in high-resolution, finite-element models of bovine tibial specimens. Findings show that the resulting models can capture the apparent strength behavior of individual trabeculae to an outstanding level of accuracy, suggesting that computational models have reached a level of fidelity that qualifies them as surrogates for destructive mechanical testing of real specimens.

56. Nazarian A, Müller R: Time-lapsed microstructural imaging of bone failure behavior. J Biomech 2004, 37:55-65. Time-lapsed microstructural imaging of bone failure behavior is introduced and validated using a novel micromechanical testing system that facilitates stepwise compression of trabecular bone specimens. The technique allows direct 3-D visualization and quantification of fracture initiation and progression on the microscopic level and relates the global failure properties of trabecular bone to those of the individual trabeculae.

This study demonstrates that the combination of functional imaging and image-based finite-element analysis allows accurate prediction of regions of trabecular bone microdamage as evaluated by histologic damage labeling. More data of this type are needed to improve understanding of factors contributing to initiation of microdamage and to establish local failure criteria for normal and diseased trabecular bone.
