    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Orthopedic Research

    Background:

    • Trabecular bone stiffness is crucial for skeletal integrity.
    • Accurate non-destructive stiffness determination is needed for clinical and research applications.
    • Previous methods may lack precision or reproducibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the stiffness behavior of trabecular bone using non-destructive techniques.
    • To optimize the method for determining bone stiffness.
    • To assess the precision and reproducibility of the optimized stiffness measurement.

    Main Methods:

    • Non-destructive axial compression testing of cylindrical trabecular bone specimens (n=25).
    • Repetitive loading cycles to 50% of predicted ultimate strength, followed by compression to failure.

  • Analysis of single compression curves and curve fitting using second-order polynomials.
  • Evaluation of stiffness changes over loading cycles and reproducibility after rest periods.

    • Main Results:

    • Bone stiffness (E') initially increased with repetitive loading, peaking around 50% of ultimate stress, then decreased.
    • A second-order polynomial provided the best fit for the elastic portion of the compression curve (r=0.94, p<0.001).
    • Non-destructive stiffness measurements at 25% ultimate strength stabilized after the tenth loading cycle, achieving <5% precision (95% confidence limits).
    • Reproducibility tests showed consistent stiffness behavior, with variation decreasing from +/-27% at the first cycle to +/-12% at steady state.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-destructive stiffness determination in trabecular bone is feasible and can be optimized.
    • Repetitive loading and stabilization are essential for precise and reproducible stiffness measurements.
    • The optimized method provides reliable stiffness data for trabecular bone biomechanical analysis.
