Hip Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis: Clinical and Histomorphometric Considerations
Figure 1
Example of microscopic images acquired from each group of patients. (a) Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and normal bone mineral density (BMD), (b) OA patients with osteopenic BMD, (c) OA patients with osteoporotic BMD, and (d) fractured patients with osteoporotic BMD. The latter shows a greater separation among bone trabeculae that appear thinner in patients with osteoporotic BMD than in those with normal or osteopenic BMD. Haematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification ×40.
