Objectives The ability to determine human bone stiffness is of clinical relevance in many
fields, including bone quality assessment and orthopaedic prosthesis design. Stiffness can …

Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease with a substantial public health burden.
Quantitative assessments of periarticular bone may be a biomarker capable of monitoring …

Healthy trabecular bone shows highly anisotropic trabecular architecture and the
preferential orientation of collagen and apatite inside a trabecula, both of which are …

Objective Static alignment influences knee loading and predicts osteoarthritis (OA)
progression. Periarticular bone is important in dispersing forces across the knee, and there …

Background There is evidence that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and
antiretroviral therapy (ART) are independent risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture which …

In this work, explicit expressions to estimate all the transversely isotropic elastic constants of
lamellar bone as a function of the volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) are provided. The …

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate feasibility of a clinical CT imaging and
analysis technique to quantify regional variations in trabecular bone architecture and …

BMD is one of the most important predictors of fracture risk. However, BMD is a surrogate
parameter and its assessment does not differentiate pathophysiological causes for low BMD …

Past attempts to establish a relationship between mandibular morphology and different
dietary categories (eg, frugivore, folivore, insectivore) have had mixed results, possibly …

The metabolism of the cancellous bone is more active than cortical bone due to the
dependence of bone turnover on the surface area. This led to bone loss, as usually found in …
