Abstract:Cancellous microanatomy, bone remodelling, and hematopoietic tissue were studied in iliac crest and femoral neck biopsies taken intraoperatively in 102 consecutive patients with displaced intracapsular fractures. About half of the femoral biopsies had osteopenia, and most showed replacement of hematopoietic tissue by fat cells, with absence of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In contrast, most of the iliac crest biopsies showed relatively less decrease in cancellous bone, while hematopoietic tissue and bone remodelling cells were present in approximately 75%. These results indicate that the iliac crest biopsy does not necessarily reflect cancellous microanatomy, hematopoietic tissue, and bone remodelling at other skeletal sites in any given patient.
