Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Morphological variation along the human limb reflects complex structural trade-offs between bone strength and mass. Here we assess how varying levels of plasticity and constraint affect this structure and influence the response to habitual loading along the diaphysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional geometric properties including total area, cortical area, and rigidity were compared from the...
