Skeletal Aging and Osteoporosis Biomechanics and Mechanobiology

Skeletal Aging and Osteoporosis Biomechanics and Mechanobiology / edited by Matthew J. Silva.

The focus of this book is on mechanical aspects of skeletal fragility related to aging and osteoporosis. Topics include: Age-related changes in trabecular structure and strength; age-related changes in cortical material properties; age-related changes in whole-bone structure; predicting bone strengt...
