Sexual dimorphism affects tibia size and shape but not tissue-level mechanical properties

Abstract Understanding how growth influences adult bone morphology and tissue quality should provide important insight into why females show a greater incidence of stress fractures early in life and fragility fractures later in life compared to males. The objective of this study was to test whether...
