In this study 39 male and female cadaveric femoral necks of ages between 21 and 89 years have been radiographed and subsequently mechanically tested to determine failure load. A structural model has been developed, in an attempt to predict the failure load of specimens solely from measurements made from an anteroposterior radiograph of the neck region. Good correlation was obtained between the predicted and experimental values for the range tested. The influence of average bone porosity is discussed. It is believed that this method, with modifications will provide a basis for the quantitative assessment of femoral neck strength in the clinical situation.
在本研究中，对39具年龄在21岁至89岁之间的男性和女性尸体股骨颈进行了X线摄影，随后进行了力学测试以确定破坏载荷。已开发出一种结构模型，试图仅根据从颈部区域前后位X线片测得的数据来预测标本的破坏载荷。在所测试的范围内，预测值与实验值之间获得了良好的相关性。讨论了平均骨孔隙率的影响。据信，该方法经过改进后将为临床情况下股骨颈强度的定量评估提供依据。
