Bone Tissue Quality Determination of Mice Through a Novel Reference Point Indentation Technique
"Bone strength deteriorates with age; which increases the susceptibility to fracture. Current clinical techniques for the estimation of bone strength are largely Bone Mineral Density (BMD) based. However, toughness, which is the ability to resist crack growth, plays a critical role in bones‟ …

Characterization of swine femoral cortical bone using the reference point indentation technique
… of bone fracture. In this study, a novel microindentation technique, the reference point indentation (RPI) technique, is used to assess the mechanical properties of swine femoral cortical bone. This technique uses successive indentation cycles to introduce a unique parameter, the indentation …

Investigation of ultrastructural and mechanical properties of rat cortical bone using micro-CT, three-point bending testing, and the reference point indentation technique
… bending testing. Additionally, a novel microindentation technique, termed reference point indentation (RPI),that is capable of in vivo testing was used to assess the mechanical properties of rat bone. These results were compared to traditional bending test results for validation of this new …
