Re: Big bone vs small bone

Heidi,

Such a large increase in geometry is hard to believe. I was thinking
of minor geometry changes due to the reduction of oesteoporosis. The
dimensions you give indicate a circumferential measurment which would
include tendons. It is possible that the increase in measurement is
due to the strengthening by increase in tendon diameter rather than
bone diameter. A better measure of bone size would be to use calipers
to measure the width of the bone.

Again I'm no expert but this seems plausible.
