Body Anthropometry and Bone Strength Conjointly Determine the Risk of Hip Fracture in a Sideways Fall

We hypothesize that variations of body anthropometry, conjointly with the bone strength, determine the risk of hip fracture. To test the hypothesis, we compared, in a simulated sideways fall, the hip impact energy to the energy needed to fracture the femur. Ten femurs from elderly donors were tested...
