Pathology or expected morphology? Investigating patterns of cortical porosity and trabecularization during infancy and early childhood
H Welsh, MB Brickley - The Anatomical Record, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Increased cortical porosity is associated with a heightened risk of skeletal fragility due to
bone loss and structural decay in adults. However, few studies have examined the etiology …
