Measurement of Trabecular Bone Microstructure Does Not Improve Prediction of Mechanical Failure Loads at the Distal Radius Compared with Bone Mass Alone

Bone mass predicts a high proportion of variability in bone failure strength but is known to overlap among subjects with and without fractures. Here, we tested the hypothesis that trabecular bone microstructure, determined with micro-computed tomography (μCT), can improve the prediction of experimen...
