Facilitates noninvasive bone strength prediction from densitometry; confirms quadratic density dependence with minor strain-rate adjustment.
Provides a relationship between bone density, strain rate, and compressive strength to help predict bone strength from x-ray and densitometric examinations.
Carter et al. (1976) studied this question. Apparent density and strain rate predict bone compressive strength, which is proportional to the square of the apparent density and to the strain rate raised to the 0.06 power.
