Fatigue curve (adapted from[95]): The relationship between load, repetition and injury onset (left), with cortical bone and trabecular bone stress-strain properties super-imposed (right). A positive shift in the fatigue-curve demonstrates the benefit of increasing bone strength; a more resilient bone able to handle more stress prior to strain.
