    The Effectiveness of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is Determined by the Patient-Specific Bone Condition and the Treatment Strategy 
    Widmer Soyka, René P.; Benedikt Helgason; Hazrati Marangalou, Javad; van den Bergh, Joop P.; Rietbergen, Bert van; Ferguson, Stephen J. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016-04-21)
    Vertebral fragility fractures are often treated by injecting bone cement into the collapsed vertebral bodies (vertebroplasty). The mechanisms by which vertebroplasty induces pain relief are not completely understood yet and recent debates cast doubt ...

    Monoclonal gammopathy of what significance?: Overcoming the methodological limitations of studying an asymptomatic precursor disorder 
    Rögnvaldsson, Sæmundur (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2023-10-10)
    Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic disorder caused by the accumulation of monoclonal immunoglobulin secreting cells in the bone marrow. The main clinical implication of MGUS is that it’s the precursor of multiple ...

    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, ...
