Age- and Gender-Related Differences in the Geometric Properties and Biomechanical Significance of Intracortical Porosity in the Distal Radius and Tibia

Cortical bone contributes the majority of overall bone mass and bears the bulk of axial loads in the peripheral skeleton. Bone metabolic disorders often are manifested by cortical microstructural changes via osteonal remodeling and endocortical trabecularization. The goal of this study was to charac...
