Early trabecular development in human vertebrae: overproduction, constructive regression and refinement.

Early trabecular development in human vertebrae: overproduction, constructive regression and refinement.

Early bone development may have a significant impact upon bone health in adulthood. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mass are important determinants of adult bone strength.
