Load-bearing in cortical bone microstructure: selective stiffening and heterogeneous strain distribution at the lamellar level
An improved understanding of bone mechanics is vital in the development of evaluation strategies for patients at risk of bone fracture. The current evaluation approach based on bone mineral density (BMD) measurements lacks sensitivity, and it has become clear that as well as bone mass, bone quality...
