Microstructure and homogeneity of distribution of mineralised struts determine callus strength

Non-invasive assessment of fracture healing, both in clinical and animal studies, has gained favour as surrogate measure to estimate regain of mechanical function. Micro-computed tomography (µCT) parameters such as fracture callus volume and mineralisation have been used to estimate callus mechanica...
