The developing sacrum: a new perspective on the relationship between internal architecture and weight transfer

This qualitative study examined the pattern of trabecular bone in 76 juvenile sacra from the Scheuer Collection, which is housed in the University of Dundee. The sample spanned from fetal through to late adolescent years. All specimens were X-rayed using macro-radiographic procedures and the images...
