Abstract:
:Micro-Finite Element (micro-FE) analysis is now widely used in biomedical research as a tool to derive bone mechanical properties as they relate to its microstructure. With the development of in vivo high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) scanners, it can now be applied to analyze bone in-vivo in the peripheral skeleton. In this survey, the results of several experimental and clinical studies are summarized that addressed the feasibility of this approach to predict bone strength in-vivo. Specific questions that will be addressed are: how accurate are strength predictions based on micro-FE; how reproducible are the results; and, is it a better predictor of bone fracture risk than DXA based measures? Based on results of experimental studies, it is first concluded that micro-FE based on HR-pQCT images can accurately predict the strength of the distal radius during a fall on the outstretched hand using either linear elastic analysis, implementing a 'Pistoia criterion' or similar criterion in combination with an 'effective' Young's modulus or using non-linear analyses. When evaluating results of clinical reproducibility studies, it is concluded that for single-center studies, errors at the radius are less than 4.4% and 3.7% and at the tibia less than 3.6% and 2.3% for stiffness and strength, respectively. In multicenter trials, however, these errors can be increased by some 1.8% and 1.4% for stiffness and strength, respectively. Finally, based on the results of large cohort studies, it is concluded that micro-FE calculated stiffness better separates cases from controls than bone density parameters for subjects with fragility fractures at any site, but not for subjects with only radius fractures. In this latter case, however, combinations of micro-FE derived parameters can significantly improve the separation.
