TLDR
The combined numerical-experimental procedure for FE model validation on the patient micro-CT technology demonstrated that bone strength can be estimated non-invasively, and this may provide important insight into fracture risk in patient populations.

Reproducibility of direct quantitative measures of cortical bone microarchitecture of the distal radius and tibia by HR-pQCT ☆

TL;DR: It is indicated that HR-pQCT measures of cortical bone density and architecture can be measured in vivo with high reproducibility and limited bias across a biologically relevant range of values.

Increased cortical porosity in type 2 diabetic postmenopausal women with fragility fractures

TL;DR: It is suggested that severe deficits in cortical bone quality are responsible for fragility fractures in postmenopausal diabetic women.

Osteoporosis Imaging: State of the Art and Advanced Imaging

TL;DR: The importance of osteoporosis is increasing in our aging society; fragility fractures may have a devastating effect on the individual, and as radiologists we have a critical role to play in preventing these as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-related patterns of trabecular and cortical bone loss differ between sexes and skeletal sites: a population-based HR-pQCT study.

TL;DR: The trends for less periosteal expansion, more porous cortices, and a greater percentage of load carried by the DR cortex in women may underpin sex differences in forearm fracture risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age- and gender-related differences in the geometric properties and biomechanical significance of intracortical porosity in the distal radius and tibia.

TL;DR: Age‐related differences in cortical porosity, as detected by HR‐pQCT, are more pronounced than differences in standard cortical metrics and the biomechanical significance of these structural differences increases with age for men and women and provides discriminatory information for menopause‐related bone quality effects.

Assessment of fracture risk and its application to screening for postmenopausal osteoporos

TL;DR: There is little evidence that osteoporosis can usefully be tackled by a public health policy to influence risk factors such as smoking, exercise and nutrition, so the selective use of screening techniques will improve the cost-benefit ratio of intervention.

The elastic and ultimate properties of compact bone tissue

TL;DR: The use of a tranversely isotropic model is tested for the elastic behavior of bovine and human bone and the five independent constants of this model are determined.

Perspective : how many women have osteoporosis ?

TL;DR: Osteoporosis is widely viewed as a major public health concern, but the exact magnitude of the problem is uncertain and likely to depend on how the condition is defined, and the design and implementation of control programs directed at this major health problem must be given.
