Impaired bone material properties increase the risk of all fractures and severity of vertebral fractures in osteoporosis: an impact microindentation study

Sosa Daysi Duarte , Eriksen Erik Fink

Context: Previous impact microindentation studies have demonstrated that osteoporosis patients exhibit impaired bone material strength, which may contribute to skeletal fragility. Whether the impact differs between subtypes of fractures has, however, not been evaluated yet.Objective: To test whether impaired bone material properties differ between different subtypes of osteoporotic fracture and assess how this property relates to fracture severity.<p...
