Clinical use of a handheld impact microindentation technique is expanding, highlighting the need to standardize the measurement technique. Here, we describe a detailed standard operation procedure to improve the consistency and comparability of the measurements across centers.en-USBone microindentationImpact microindentationBone tissue characteristicsJournal Article2017-01-0310.1016/j.bonr.2016.07.004
