AbstractOsteoporosis causes the bone mass loss and increased fracture risk. This paper presents the modelling of osteoporotic human lumbar vertebrae L1 by employing finite elements method (FEM). The isolated inhomogeneous vertebral body is composed by cortical out-er shell and cancellous bone. The level of osteoporotic contribution is characterised by reducing the thickness of cortical shell and elasticity modulus of cancellous bone using power-law dependence with apparent density. The strength parameters are evaluated on the basis of von Mises-Hencky yield criterion. Parametric study of osteoporotic degradation contains the static and nonlinear dynamic analysis of stresses that occur due to physiological load. Results of our investigation are presented in terms of nonlinear interdependence between stress and external load.

Abstract The contribution of the cortical shell and endplate to the stiffness and strength of the vertebral body is not well understood. However, several studies have suggested that the cortical shell plays an important role in the fracture strength of the whole vertebral body as bone is progressively lost from the centrum due to aging and osteoporosis (Eastell 1991, Faulkner 1991, Kurowski 1986. Silva 1997). Silva et al. (1994) concluded that prediction of cortical bone geometry using computed tomography (CT) based measurements is subject to considerable uncertainly caused by image distortion and the low ratio of image resolution of 0.25 mm/pixel to cortical shell thickness (0.09–0.86 mm). Thus, in development of CT-based models of the vertebral body, particular attention should be paid to the details of shell modeling.

Abstract Many studies have investigated the ability of vertebral trabecular BMC measurements to predict overall vertebral strength. Far fewer investigations, however, have examined the use of cortical shell data to predict maximum strength. In this study, we are investigating the load-carrying characteristics of the cortical region of vertebral bodies Lumbar vertebrae from macaca fascicularis were examined by QCT and mechanically tested in compression. Our results show that cortical thickness, as determined by QCT, is a significant predictor of vertebral maximum stress (R = 0.62, p < 1 E−5). This relationship is improved when the cortical thickness is compared to load (R = 0.77, p < 5 E−10). This information reveals that the cortical shell plays a major role in determining the load carrying capacity of lumbar vertebrae, and that examination of cortical thickness will give an approximation of maximum vertebral stress and load.
