Characterization of swine femoral cortical bone using the reference point indentation technique
The investigation of mechanical properties of bone, specifically fracture properties, is an important aspect of studying bone quality, and can potentially be used to predict the risk of bone fracture. In this study, a novel microindentation technique, the reference point indentation (RPI) …

An experimental investigation into the anisotropic behaviour of bovine femoral cortical bone
… body for various applications, the behaviour of cortical bone needs to be understood. To understand and model the behaviour of cortical bone, knowledge of the strain rate dependent behaviour is required. Many authors have investigated these properties, however, the literature appears to be …

Multi-scale characterization of swine femoral cortical bone and long bone defect repair by regeneration
… of structure and mechanical properties of bone as a function of age and regeneration of bone in long bone critical sized defects. In the first part of this study, a multi-scale experimental work was carried out to characterize cortical bone as a heterogeneous material with hierarchical …

The effect of continuous infusion of human parathyroid hormone on bone architecture in female mice
… for either 2 week or 4 week duration. Total body bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC), trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture, and serum calcium levels were measured. There were no significant differences in BMD or BMC in either study in mice infused with either …

An Evaluation of Activity in a Colonial Maya Cemetery Using Femoral Cross-Sectional Analysis
<p>Cortical bone formation in the population of Tipu, a colonial visita site in Belize, was examined here to reveal factors of their activity and address the possibility of a status-based burial plan. To answer this question, this research examined the endosteal surface of the midshaft femur using …
