Bone remodeling at the endocortical surface of the human femoral neck: a mechanism for regional cortical thinning in cases of hip fracture.
Endocortical remodeling and wall thickness (W.Th.) were measured in femoral neck bone from 12 female fracture cases (81.3 +/- 1.5 years) and 12 sex-matched controls (81.9 +/- 1.9 years). Regionally, osteoid and eroded surface were increased, whereas W.Th. was reduced. These processes likely contribu...
