These analyses were used to identify trends in bone shape in various age-based subgroups (<40, 40 60, >60).
Mutants of Tbx15 have reduced bone size and changes in bone shape in the forelimb skeleton indicating an important role in the skeletal development of forelimbs [ 24].
The specimens for the direct tensile test in Fig. 3 were made to have two dog-bone shapes in both ends, as already shown elsewhere (Kim et al. 2007), to avoid fractures outside the gage length.
In particular, compared to those forms of defects that maintain bone shapes, in the case of vertical bone defects accompanied by height decreases, poor prognoses are found when observed for long periods of time after bone grafts in most cases [19].
Terhune et al. [ 31] also found that subadult great apes and humans demonstrate differences in temporal bone shape early in ontogeny.
According to micro-XRD analysis, preferential alignment of the BAp c-axis varies sensitively depending on the portion, bone shape, and in vivo stress distribution [ 16].
Figure 5 shows external changes in bone shape according to changes in the surface of the tibial epiphysis and the extent of its destruction in the knee joints of rats in the control group and the RA group, together with images of the reconstructed three-dimensional μ-CT images.
Bone quality is affected through changes in bone shape, bone micro-architecture, and in material properties such as bone mineralization and the quality of collagen.
In the mandible, complicated bone shape and stress conditions in vivo might be associated with both bone quantity and quality.
The mean change in cartilage thickness, changes in bone shape and T2 cartilage mapping, will also be performed.
