Effect of trabecular architectures on the mechanical response in osteoporotic and healthy human bone
AbstractResearch at the mesoscale bone trabeculae arrangement yields intriguing results that, due to their clinical resolution, can be applied in clinical field, contributing significantly to the diagnosis of bone-related diseases. While the literature offers quantitative morphometric parameters for a thorough characterization of the mesoscale bone network, there is a gap in understanding relationships among them, particularly in the context of various bone pathologies. This research aims to bridge these gaps by offering a quantitative evaluation of the interplay among morphometric parameters and mechanical response at mesoscale in osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic bones. Bone mechanical response, dependent on trabecular arrangement, is defined by apparent stiffness, computationally calculated using the Gibson-Ashby model. Key findings indicate that: (i) in addition to bone density, measured using X-ray absorptiometry, trabecular connectivity density, trabecular spacing and degree of anisotropy are crucial parameters for characterize osteoporosis state; (ii) apparent stiffness values exhibit strong correlations with bone density and connectivity density; (iii) connectivity density and degree of anisotropy result the best predictors of mechanical response. Despite the inherent heterogeneity in bone structure, suggesting the potential benefit of a larger sample size in the future, this approach presents a valuable method to enhance discrimination between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic samples.
