Association between regional heterogeneity in the mid ‐facial bone micro‐architecture and increased fragility along Le Fort lines?

ConclusionsRegional heterogeneity in cortical bone micro‐architecture could not fully explain increased fragility of the mid‐facial skeleton at the Le Fort lines. However, regional differences in trabecular bone anisotropy may contribute to increased bone fragility.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
