Determining whether bone recovers after prolonged spaceflight is important for understanding the risks to astronaut long-term skeletal health and the limits of bone adaptation. The primary aim of this study was to use second-generation HR-pQCT to examine recovery of bone microarchitecture, density, and strength after long-duration spaceflight. Secondary aims included examining the effect of mission duration and biochemical measures of bone turnover on bone recovery.
