A comparison of enhanced continuum FE with micro FE models of human vertebral bodies

Continuum finite element (FE) models are standard tools for determination of biomechanical properties of bones and bone-implant systems. This study investigates the accuracy of an enhanced continuum FE model by taking μ FE as the gold standard. The enhanced continuum models account for trabecular bo...
