Difficulties in the assessment of trabecular bone competence reflect complexities of the tissue itself. It is a highly porous rigid foam1,2composed of an inhomogeneous and anisotropic assembly of minute structural elements, generally in the form of struts (trabeculae) or plates. Each structural element is in turn composed of a complex arrangement of material lamellae infiltrated by a dense network of cellular lacunae and canaliculi. Lamellae are composed of material with additional complexity; minute grains of mineral (hydroxyapatite) tightly interspersed within a fabric of organic fibers (collagen). From the perspective of mechanics, this complexity manifests as a unique set of material characteristics:3,4relatively high strength to weight ratio, relatively low stiffness to strength ratio, and a surprising degree of damage tolerance.
