N2 - Bone as an organ, derives its apparent strength from its
inherent mechanical (material) properties, and its
hierarchical structural arrangement. To examine the
material properties, the structural influence should
ideally be excluded. For trabecular bone this suggests to
perform mechanical characterization on individual
trabeculae. Based on our previous work we here present
a compression test of individual trabeculae, that will
enable the systematic characterization of trabeculae
from healthy and diseased human donors.
