The development of a small animal model for assessing the 3D implications of loading on bone microarchitecture

It is well established that bone is capable of adapting to changes in its environment; however, little is known regarding how environmental stimuli, specifically loading, are associated with the internal 3D microarchitecture of cortical bone. The aim of this thesis was to develop a small animal mode...
