Table 4.

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

Quadrants BV/TV BS/BV Po(tot) Cs.Th TMD

p 0.01 0.02 0.04 0.03 0.01 0.02 0.000 0.02

BV/TV: bone volume fraction; BS/BV: specific bone surface; Po (tot): total porosity; Cs.Th: cortical thickness, TMD: tissue mineral density. The correlation coefficient, r, and p values are reported. p < 0.01 was considered significant.
