'GOING NANO' in the field of osteology: Is bone fragility already determined at the level of bone mineralized matrix?

Bone fractures frequently occur in elderly persons even after low-energy trauma. Given that the young individuals would not sustain a fracture under such conditions, it is clear that the main cause of easy bone fracturing originates from the structural and compositional characteristics of the aged b...
