The modulus of elasticity was derived by combining the velocity of ultrasound measurements and photon absorption (Norland-Cameron method) in human cortical bone (proximal radius) in vivo. The results compare favorably with published values of the elasticity modulus obtained in vitro. Values obtained for a heterogeneous group of patients with bone and joint complaints differed from those of normal volunteers.
