Table 3.

Correlation between OA severity and microstructural parameters in all quadrants in trabecular bone.

Quadrants BS/BV Tb.Th Tb.Sp TMD
1 3 1 3 1 2 3 1 3
r 0.63 0.62 − 0.76 − 0.59 − 0.71 − 0.67 − 0.72 0.75 0.62
p 0.02 0.02 0.002 0.03 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.003 0.02

BS/BV, bone specific surface; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness, Tb.Sp, trabecular separation; TMD, tissue mineral density. The correlation coefficient, r, and p values are reported. p < 0.01 was considered significant.
