Compressive properties of commercially available polyurethane foams as mechanical models for osteoporotic human cancellous bone

BACKGROUND: Polyurethane (PU) foam is widely used as a model for cancellous bone. The higher density foams are used as standard biomechanical test materials, but none of the low density PU foams are universally accepted as models for osteoporotic (OP) bone. The aim of this study was to determine whe...
