MicroCT sections of the cortical bone development at diaphyseal level. At 6 weeks, the inner surface is irregular due to merging trabeculae and bone resorption. The outer surface consists of the circumferential bone plates. At 23 weeks, the endosteal surface of the diaphysis has smoothened, but the circumferential plates are still present at the periosteal surface. At 230 weeks, inner and outer surfaces of the diaphysis are smooth.
