title: [Accumulation of microdamage and bone quality].
abstract: Quantification of accumulated microdamage in bone is one of evaluation methods of bone quality. Microdamage accumulation in bone reduces some tissue material property of bone. However, microdamage is also closely associated with bone metabolism and mechanical environment of bone, and functions as accelerator of bone turnover through the detection and repair of damage.
