Journal Article
Greenwood, C., Clement, J. G., Dicken, A. J., Evans, J. P., Lyburn, I. D., Martin, R. M., …Zioupos, P. (2015). The micro-architecture of human cancellous bone from fracture neck of femur patients in relation to the structural integrity and fracture toughness of the tissue. Bone Reports, 3, 67-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bonr.2015.10.001

Osteoporosis is clinically assessed from bone mineral density measurements using dual energy X-ray absorption (DXA). However, these measurements do not always provide an accurate fracture prediction, arguably because DXA does not grapple with 'bone q...
