Limited field radiation therapy results in decreased bone fracture toughness in a murine model

Fragility fractures are a well-known complication following oncologic radiotherapy, and it is suspected that radiation-induced embrittlement of bone within the treatment field may contribute to fracture risk. To explore this phenomenon, a mouse model (BALB/cJ) of fractionated, limited field, bilater...
