Intrinsic mechanical behavior of femoral cortical bone in young, osteoporotic and bisphosphonate-treated individuals in low- and high energy fracture conditions

TL;DR: Loss in strength and fibril deformation at low strain rates correlate with the occurrence of fragility fractures in osteoporosis, while improvements in structural and mechanical properties following bisphosphonate treatment may foster resistance to fracture during physiological strain rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alendronate treatment alters bone tissues at multiple structural levels in healthy canine cortical bone.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the reduced plasticity associated with bisphosphonate treatments may induce an increase in microcrack accumulation and growth under cyclic daily loadings, and potentially increase the susceptibility of cortical bone to atypical (fatigue-like) fractures.
