Excerpt

There has been much discussion about the role that microdamage plays in reducing bone's mechanical properties and increasing the risk of fracture [1]. Data showing a clear relationship between microdamage and biomechanical properties are sparse; the role of damage in fracture/fracture risk is completely unclear. …
