    Empirical relationships between bone density and ultimate strength: A literature review 
    Fleps, Ingmar; Bahaloo, Hassan; Zysset, Philippe K.; Ferguson, Stephen J.; Pálsson, Halldór; Helgason, Benedikt (Elsevier BV, 2020-10)
    Introduction: Ultimate strength-density relationships for bone have been reported with widely varying results. Reliable bone strength predictions are crucial for many applications that aim to assess bone failure. Bone density and bone morphology have ...

    A novel sideways fall simulator to study hip fractures ex vivo 
    Fleps, Ingmar; Vuille, Muriel; Melnyk, Angela; Ferguson, Stephen J.; Guy, Pierre; Helgason, Benedikt; Cripton, Peter A. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-07-24)
    Falls to the side are the leading cause of hip fractures in the elderly. The load that a person experiences during a fall cannot be measured with volunteers for ethical reasons. To evaluate injurious loads, while considering relevant energy input and ...

    On the internal reaction forces, energy absorption, and fracture in the hip during simulated sideways fall impact 
    Fleps, Ingmar; Enns-Bray, William S.; Guy, Pierre; Ferguson, Stephen J.; Cripton, Peter A.; Helgason, Benedikt (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-11-26)
    The majority of hip fractures have been reported to occur as a result of a fall with impact to the greater trochanter of the femur. Recently, we developed a novel cadaveric pendulum-based hip impact model and tested two cadaveric femur-pelvis constructs, ...
