Safety Outcomes of Impact Microindentation: A Prospective Observational Study in the Netherlands

ABSTRACT Impact microindentation (IMI) is a technique to assess bone material properties of the cortical bone at the tibia in a transcutaneous, microinvasive, way. IMI is increasingly used in studies evaluating the contribution of tissue material properties to bone fragility in humans, and is approved for use in the clinic in Europe and the United States. Previous data show that IMI is well tolerated during and immediately after the procedure. The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the longer‐term safety and acceptability of an IMI measurement using the handheld OsteoP... Mehr ...
