Effect of obesity on bone strength and implication on the risk of hip fracture

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

There is a clear and unmet need to address the diagnosis of hip fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. Whereas low weight is a well-documented risk factor for future bone fractures, a high body weight seems to protect against hip fracture. Read more

Investigating plastic behaviour in immature bones

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

There are many differences in mechanical properties between immature and adult bones. While adult bones have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to non-healthy ageing and the risk of fracture, there has been a lack of study on immature or young bones and their mechanical properties.
