Abstract
Introduction Despite extensive research, the mechanical properties of trabecular bone are still incompletely understood. There is a particular lack of knowledge of the local distribution of strain within the complex and anisotropic structure of trabecular bone. Recently, analytical methods such as digital volume correlation (DVC) have allowed researchers to noninvasively measure the three-dimensional (3D) response of trabecular bone to mechanical loads [Bay, 1999]. However, so far no studies have assessed the strain values calculated from DVC at different load levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the strain values calculated from DVC at different loads to determine whether it is an effective tool for measuring the local distribution of 3D trabecular bone strain.
