Abstract
Interpretation. In comparison with the characteristics of axial compression test, the fall configuration approach generated higher shearing stress with larger bending moment to the bone and induced susceptibility to fracture at lower mechanical load. Although the failure force obtained from the two testing configurations revealed significant correlation, the mechanical testing in fall configuration demonstrated higher sensitivity in identifying the estrogen-deficiency induced deterioration of hip mechanical failure force as compared with that in axial compression. These findings suggested the potential application of lateral fall configuration in evaluation of improvement effects of intervention stratagems on hip mechanical failure force involving an ovariectomized rat model.
