Discussion: Overall,
quantified trabecular parameters represent overall differences in bone strength between the two species, however, DA may be directly related to joint loading.

Traditional analyses have
quantified cortical or
trabecular structure in only selected regions of a bone, such as single cross-sections of cortical bone or volumes of interest of
trabecular structure in epiphyses.
We
quantify bone volume fraction (BV / TV), degree of anisotropy (DA),
trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), bone surface to volume ratio (BS / BV), and cortical thickness and investigate the distribution of BV / TV and cortical thickness throughout the bone / epiphysis.
