Effects of aging and remodeling on bone microdamage formation

Skeletal fragility is characterized by low bone mass, negative changes in bone microarchitecture, and compromised tissue matrix properties, including accumulation of microdamage. Microdamage accumulates in vivo from daily physiological loading and is targeted for repair through a normal remodeling p...
