We assessed the role of low aBMD and impaired architecture—assessed by an HR‐pQCT
system—in a case‐control study of postmenopausal women with fractures. Vertebral and …

The aim of this study was to verify whether a misalignment between the testing direction and
the trabecular main direction has a significant effect on the compressive behaviour of …

Objective: We compared the biomechanical stability of bone-plate constructs using a
compression plate (CP), an internal fixator (IF), and a combination plate (CP/IF). Methods …

For normal bone, aging has been associated with a decrease of both density and failure
strength, and with the development of pathologies such as osteoporosis. Conversely, it has …

In this study, a gray-level image-based approach to quantifying structural anisotropy is
described. The secant modulus was estimated for thirty L3 vertebral bodies using …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a great decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and
deterioration of bone microarchitecture. The objective of this study was to investigate the …

Functional restoration following extensive bone injury often requires bone grafting. The
primary source of graft material is either autograft or allograft. The use of both material …

Experimental work has to be tightly linked with modeling. In fact, successful modeling
requires firstly comparison with experiments in order to verify its predictions or to set its …

OBJECTIVE: Precise in vivo measurement of the trabecular bone's mechanical properties is
very important for endosseous dental implant treatment and design in clinical practice. The …

Since trabecular bone shows much more metabolism activity than cortical bone, it acts as a
reservoir to regulate the concentration of calcium and other mineral ions throughout the …
