Abstract We tested whether cortical bone tissue properties assessed by in vivo impact microindentation would distinguish postmenopausal women with recent distal radius (DRF) or hip fracture (HF) from nonfracture controls (CONT). We enrolled postmenopausal women with recent DRF (n = 57), HF (n = 41), or CONT (n = 93), and used impact microindentation to assess […]
