Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 496))

Abstract

There is substantial evidence that besides the volume fraction of the bone (often quantified in terms of apparent bone density) the three-dimensional arrangement of the trabecular network is a major determinant of elastic modulus1-5and ultimate strength.6-8
