The proposed interdisciplinary study will bring together materials scientists, biomechanics experts, molecular biologists, and clinicians from five major hospitals in Switzerland. It aims at assessing bone strength by experimental and computational approaches spanning several length scales in OI patients and healthy controls who underwent orthopaedic surgery. Using recent advances in microscale characterization techniques, our goal is to improve current diagnostic tools used in a clinical setting by the knowledge of patient-specific bone geometry, the relationship between the microstructure and mechanical strength at several length scales, as well as genetic and biochemical analysis. It will be investigated if integration of these different measurements can help assess the effect of OI types and treatments on the individual bone quality and fracture risk.
