Osteocyte lacunar occupancy in the femoral neck cortex: an association with cortical remodeling in hip fracture cases and controls.
In adult humans, osteocytes die and disappear from their lacunae in the cortex of bones which remodel slowly, such as the proximal femur, and osteocyte death is particularly prevalent in the elderly. We have investigated the statistical determinants of osteocyte density in microscopic fields (0.71 m...
