Iliac crest histomorphometry and skeletal heterogeneity in men

The cortical characteristics of the iliac crest in male have rarely been investigated with quantitative histomorphometry. Also it is still unknown how cortical microarchitecture may vary between the iliac crest and fractures related sites at the proximal femur. We studied the microarchitecture of both external and internal cortices within the iliac crest, and compared the results with femoral neck and subtrochanteric femoral shaft sites.

Effects of Abaloparatide-SC (BA058) on bone histology and histomorphometry: The ACTIVE phase 3 trial

There are a number of effective treatments for osteoporosis but most are in the antiresorptive class of compounds. Abaloparatide-SC is a new osteoanabolic agent, which increased bone mineral density and lowered the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures in the phase 3 ACTIVE trial.
