	It is well argued that stability-initiated failure dominates, especially in older bone, because of the instability of single trabeculae which is prone to inelastic buckling at stresses far less than expected for strength-based failure. It is also well known that when several horizontal struts have disappeared, trabecula fails due to compression-buckling load. In this contribution, our main goal is to improve, from theoretical point of view, the mechanistic understanding of bone buckling failure which is known to be at the core of important clinical problems. For that and with respect to previous works, an attempt is made in order to establish a simplified adaptive-beam buckling model, formulated within the context of the nonlocal adaptive continuum mechanics, from which numerical computations were performed in order to get a better knowledge about bone-column buckling mechanism affected by both bone density and bone density gradient distributions restricted to Euler{\textendash}Bernoulli beam theory. An attempt is made to compare the experimental data with the response of our simplified model. For that, controlled buckling tests of single trabeculae were carried out from three medial tibia end sections (knee joint).
