| OI 10.11 | Geometric irregularities at the transverse cross-section: contrary to longitudinal geometric irregularities, they contribute significantly to the linearly elastic torsional behaviour of long bones [173,174]. |
| OI 10.12 | Bone aspect ratio: long bone failure may be more dependent on deformation rather than on stress [175]. |
| OI 10.13 | Microstructure: influences the fatigue life of bone [176,177]. The vascular pattern of bone affects its Young’s Modulus [178]. |
