Bone Microdamage and Skeletal Fragility in Osteoporotic and Stress Fractures
Abstract
The accumulation of bone microdamage has been proposed as one factor that contributes to increased skeletal fragility with age and that may increase the risk for fracture in older women. This paper reviews the current status and understanding of microdamage physiology and its importance to skeletal fragility. Several questions are addressed: Does microdamage exist in vivo in bone? If it does, does it impair bone quality? Does microdamage accumulate with age, and is the accumulation of damage with age sufficient to cause a fracture? The nature of the damage repair mechanism is reviewed, and it is proposed that osteoporotic fracture may be a consequence of a positive feedback between damage accumulation and the increased remodeling space associated with repair.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
