Brief description/objective

Bone material properties were assessed using impact microindentation in patients with high-energy trauma fractures. Compared to patients with low-energy trauma fractures, bone material strength index was significantly higher in patients with high-energy trauma fractures, and did not differ between patients with osteopenia and those with osteoporosis within each trauma group.
