TBS Association with Biomechanical Properties of Human Vertebrae, Ex-Vivo

Objective: The clinical utility of Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) to evaluate the risk for osteoporotic fracture has been widely recognized by the scientific community. To date only one study presented data on the relation between TBS and bone mechanical properties, with a relatively small sample size. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TBS, BMD and mechanical properties of on a larger sample of human vertebra ex vivo.
