Technical note: Recommendations for a standard procedure to assess cortical bone at the tissue-level in vivo using impact microindentation
Impact microindentation is a novel method for measuring the resistance of cortical bone to indentation in patients. Clinical use of a handheld impact microindentation technique is expanding, highlighting the need to standardize the measurement technique. Here, we describe a detailed standard operati...
