Abstract
The ability to bear loads is a critical function of the skeleton, in addition to its metabolic and physiological roles. Load-bearing ability depends on both the applied loads and the structural properties of the loaded bone. When the loads exceed the structural properties, fracture will occur. Because the nature of the applied loads can be difficult to predict, the best approach for minimizing fracture risk is through targeted interventions and...
