Abstract
⺠We examine microdamage caused by compressive loading of cancellous bone. ⺠We found that microdamage is much more likely to form around resorption cavities. ⺠Damage volume fraction (DV/BV) was strongly correlated with eroded surface. ⺠Resorption cavities promote local mechanical failure and may impair bone strength.
