## Abstract Fractures of the distal radius are common, especially in postmenopausal women, and their prevalence increases with age. Knowledge of the factors that increase the risk of fracture in this metaphyseal region would have predictive and therapeutic implications. Of particular interest in th

The nanoindentation technique was used to characterize the variation in the elastic modulus and hardness of human lumbar vertebral cortical and trabecular bone. The elastic modulus (and in most cases, the hardness as well) of axially aligned trabeculae cut in the transverse direction was significant
The cancellous structure of vertebrae has been studied to investigate the direction of trabeculae and thus the lines of stress. The trabecular bone of the pedicle, connecting the body to the lamina, differed in different regions of the vertebral column. At C, level, it was found that trabeculae are
To understand the inelastic response of bone, a three-part investigation has been conducted. In the first, unload/reload tests have been used to characterize the hysteresis and provide insight into the mechanisms causing the strain. The second part devises a model for the stress/strain response, bas
