## Abstract Nanoindentation was used to characterize the intrinsic mechanical properties of bone tissue from eight (8) children with type III Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The bone samples were harvested from the cortex portion at the site of bowing (the mid 2/3 of the shaft of the tibia/femur). Un
The elastic properties of several microstructural components of dry human vertebrae (T-12 and L-1) and tibiae have been investigated in the longitudinal and transverse directions using nanoindentation. The largest Young's modulus was that for the interstitial lamellae in the longitudinal direction (
