From: Compositional and mechanical properties of growing cortical bone tissue: a study of the human fibula
Top left to bottom right: Evolution of transverse section of fibula with age (age and sex are indicated above each section), taken at the same location. Illustrations come from DMB measurement by X-rays. Note the evolution of the cortex and trabeculae. Scale bars represent 1.5 mm. The right bottom graph shows the DMB distribution in juveniles (Solid line) and adults (Dot line) in osteonal and interstitial bone.
