Trabecular bone is a highly porous, heterogeneous, and anisotropic material which can be
found at the epiphyses of long bones and in the vertebral bodies. Studying the mechanical …

The biological interface between an orthopedic implant and the surrounding host tissue may
have a dramatic effect upon clinical outcome. Desired effects include bony ingrowth …

Steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) may lead to joint collapse and subsequent joint
replacement. Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid/tricalcium phosphate (P/T) scaffold providing …

Through much of the anatomical and clinical literature bone is studied with a focus on its
structural architecture, while it is rare for bone to be modelled using a structural mechanics …

The arrangement and orientation of the ultrastructure plays an important role for the
mechanical properties of inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials, such as polymers …

We here report an improved experimental technique for the determination of Young׳ s
