Boundary conditions were applied to the finite element model to mimic a fall on the side. A vertical force was applied to the femoral head and vertical displacements were set to zero at the greater trochanter. The distal end of the femur was connected with beams to a rotation point. At the rotation point, only rotation about the x-axis was allowed; the other five degrees of freedom were set to zero.
