On the internal reaction forces, energy absorption, and fracture in the hip during simulated sideways fall impact

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, embedded in a soft tissue surrogate. The outc...
