Runaway resorption of microcracks contributes to age-related hip-fracture patients

Abstract Microdefects, including microcracks and resorption trenches, may be important contributors to bone fragility. 3D microdefect morphology was imaged using synchrotron micro-CT to develop a classification system for investigating the relationship with bone mechanics and hip-fractures. Femoral...
