Figure 1.

Digitized microradiographs of sections of iliac bone biopsies from fracturing (A, C) versus nonfracturing (B, D) postmenopausal nonosteoporotic women. C and D are identified areas from A and B and observed at higher magnification. Box plots on the right show that the degree of mineralization of bone and the heterogeneity index of iliac bone biopsies are not significantly different in fracturing nonosteoporotic postmenopausal women versus nonfracturing, nonosteoporotic postmenopausal women whatever the bone compartment assessed.
