Large cortical bone pores in the tibia are associated with proximal femur strength.

Large cortical bone pores in the tibia are associated with proximal femur strength.

Alterations of structure and density of cortical bone are associated with fragility fractures and can be assessed in vivo in humans at the tibia. Bone remodeling deficits in aging women have been recently linked to an increase in size of cortical pores. In this ex vivo study, we characterized the co...
