Bone Material Properties of Human Phalanges Using Vickers Indentation

Objective To investigate the microhardness distribution throughout the human hand phalanges using the Vickers method, which can be used to directly evaluate the bone mechanical properties at tissue level and provide an alternative means to investigate bone quality. Methods The phalanges bones involv...
