Experimental Vibration Analysis Of Goat Femur Bones

EasyChair Preprint 4070

Abstract

The unique relationship between resonant frequencies and material properties has led to the use of vibration. Vibration Technique is a non-invasive technique for determining the stiffness of long bones and also assess the effect, that osteoporosis may have on the mechanical properties. This technique has also been used to diagnose the occurrence of a bone fracture, determine the rate of healing of fractures, and detect loosening of hip prosthetic. Osteoporosis is a disease with the systemic skeletal disorder and the most common metabolic bone disease. It is specified by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, and increased bone fragility and likelihood to fracture with no known trauma. Osteoporosis related fractures tend to mostly occur in the wrist, spine, and hip. Hip fractures have the greatest morbidity and mortality, but all osteoporotic fractures result in pain and suffering to the individuals experiencing them and considerable socioeconomic losses to the society. This technique is cost-effective, transportable. In this method, vibration measurement was carried out on goat femur bones in vitro condition. Natural Frequency of goat femur bones increased with decreasing bone mineral density. The data obtained from this technique is directly related to the mechanical condition of the bone.
