- Abstract
The article presents the results of a study on humans' bone tissue mechanical properties. The researchers validated a reference point indentation (RPI) instrument for measuring tissue properties in vivo. The researchers conclude that bone microindentation testing (BMT), by inducing microscopic fractures, directly measures bone mechanical properties at the tissue level and is feasible for use in clinics with good reproductibility.
