## Abstract As with any structure, the structural capacity of the proximal femur depends on the applied loads and these can vary as a function of impact direction during a fall. However, despite its potential importance in hip fracture risk assessment, the relative importance of impact direction is

Results from previous quasi-static mechanical tests indicate that femurs from elderly subjects fail in vitro at forces 50% below those available in a fall from standing height. However, bone is a rate-dependent material, and it is not known whether this imbalance is present at rates of loading which

## Abstract Hip fracture among the elderly is a large and growing public health issue. Presently, all therapies approved for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis involve pharmacological agents that act systemically. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of preventing osteoporotic hip frac
