dc.description.abstract | Tensile breaking load, strength, strain, modulus of elasticity and density plus the histological structure at the fracture site, were determined for 207 standardized specimens of cortical bone from the embalmed femur, tibia, and fibula of 17 men from 36 to 75 years of age. The men were divided into a younger group (41.5 years old-avg) and an older group (71 years old-avg). Specimens from younger men had a greater average breaking load, strength, strain, modulus and density than those from older men. The percentage of spaces in the break area was greater in specimens from older men, but specimens from younger men had a slightly greater percentage of osteons, osteon fragments, and interstitial lamellae. The number of osteons/mm 2 and of osteon fragments/mm 2 was greater in specimens from older men but the average area/osteon and area/osteon fragment was greater in specimens from younger men. Thus, there are quantitative and qualitative differences in the histological structure of bone from younger and older men. Differences in the tensile properties of bone from younger and older men can be explained by histological differences in the bone. | en_US |
