Abstract

Literature shows only few indications on mechanical anisotropy of trabecular bone. In detail compressive anisotropy is reported upon the trabecular bone of a patella |1|. As for bone from the vertebral body the compressive strength depends essentially on the direction of the load |2|, |3|. The variations in the compressive strength have been discussed on the base of the Euler formulas |4|. Another paper postulates trabecular bone to be isotropic |5|.
