Abstract
Whereas the bone-tissue stiffness of cancellous bone did not differ between the three directions of nanoindentation, or between the two age groups, cortical bone-tissue stiffness was higher in the adult tissue. After correction for DMB, the cross-links studied did not increase the explained variance. In the young group, however, LP significantly improved the explained variance in bone-tissue stiffness. Approximately half of the variation in bone-tissue stiffness in cancellous and cortical bone was explained by the DMB and the LP cross-links and thus they cannot be considered the sole determinants of the bone-tissue stiffness.
