Characterization of the Biological Fingerprint and Identification of Associated Parameters in Stress Fractures by FTIR Spectroscopy

<div>Longitudinal section of the metaphysis of the proximal femur (compact bone). The healthy bone showed normal collagen fiber staining, and the bone with stress fracture showed a greater amount of collagen fibers, which are disorganized. Masson’s trichrome stain, 400x.</div>
