Bone strength is influenced by mineral density and macro- and microstructure. Research into factors that contribute to bone morphology and strength has focused on genetic, environmental and morphological factors (e.g., body mass index), but little is known regarding the impact of rates of skeletal elongation on adult skeletal morphology and strength. Using micro-CT, we examined the impact of rates of skeletal elongation on bone cortical and trabecular morphology, and on rates of estrogen-depende ...[more]
