Fragility fractures represent a public health problem for elderly. The assessment of the bone strength and of the risk of fracture by the gold standard method (Dual X-ray Absorptiometry - DXA) is limited. Micro-finite element models (µFEM) have shown to better predict the bone strength, but it is not possible to confirm that they do better than the density measured by DXA to estimate the risk of fracture. Thus, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate whether including realistic loading conditions could improve the level of prediction of the FEM. First, we reproduced the loading conditions of a forward fall on 32 radii in an ex-vivo experiment. This experiment leaded to two groups: one fractured and one non - fractured. Then, we evaluated the...
