Abstract Introduction Physiological stress is one of the various factors that can have an impact on stable isotope ratios. However, its effect bone collagen ratios still not fully understood. This study aims to build previous research how different disease stages may affect Materials and Methods Carbon (δ 13 C) nitrogen 15 N) were assessed in 33 skeletons retained evidence infectious healed fractures. Samples taken from active lesions (long bones n = 14; ribs 4), 10; 9), or a fracture callus...
