Vertebroplasty, a medical procedure for treating vertebral fractures, requires medical practitioners to inject bone cement inside the vertebra using a cannula attached to a syringe. The required injection force must be small enough for the practitioner to apply it by hand while remaining stable for a controlled injection. Several factors could make the injection force unintuitive for the practitioners,...
Every year, 1.4 million osteoporosis‐related vertebral fractures occur worldwide, which cause about 33 % of all osteoporotic fracture‐related deaths. Vertebroplasty is a medical procedure for treating vertebral fractures, wherein a polymer called bone‐cement is injected into the porous structure inside the vertebra. The associated risk of bone‐cement leaking outside of the vertebra can be mitigated...
The following work focuses on studying the permeability and its dependency on geometric parameters on the macro‐scale representing the underlying microstructure. In particular, regular microstructures are studied such that the computation of permeability is straightforward and the geometric parameters can be modified in a systematic manner. The permeabilities of the respective geometries are then...
