Trabecular Microarchitecture of Hominoid Thoracic Vertebrae [PDF]
AbstractSpontaneous vertebral fractures are a common occurrence in modern humans, yet these fractures are not documented in other hominoids. Differences in vertebral bone strength between humans and apes associated with trabecular bone microarchitecture may contribute to differences in fracture incidence.
