A Cross-Sectional Study of Bone Nanomechanics in Hip Fracture and Aging

A Cross-Sectional Study of Bone Nanomechanics in Hip Fracture and Aging

Bone mechanics is well understood at every length scale except the nano-level. We aimed to investigate the relationship between bone nanoscale and tissue-level mechanics experimentally. We tested two hypotheses: (1) nanoscale strains were lower in hip fracture patients versus controls, and (2) nanos...
