Bone Abstracts

Study aim: The general assumption that changes in bone microstructure and material properties at the iliac crest are representative of skeletal sites that are susceptible to osteoporotic fracture has not yet been addressed. Therefore, our study aim was to perform a comparative analysis of bone microarchitecture, accumulated microdamage and osteocyte morphology between the iliac crest, proximal femur and vertebral body.Methods: Trabecular bone cores were ...
