Abstract:ObjectivesThere is an increasing understanding of how trabecular bone adapts to biomechanical changes during ontogeny. However, limited research exists regarding the distal tibia, which is important in weight‐bearing locomotion as part of the ankle joint. This study aims to document the ontogenetic trabecular patterns of the distal tibia, in addition to changes in its structural heterogeneity.Materials and MethodsThirty‐eight distal tibiae, ranging in age from 28 intrauterine weeks to 8 postnatal years, from t… Show more
