Abstract

Objective  To obtain the reference value of the bone micrstructrual morphology for therapeutic guidance by investigation of bone microstructure in bone biopsy from intertroachteric fractures in elderly patients.   Methods   The experimental group: 15 female patients and 15 male patients were who have femoral intertrochanteric fracture caused by low or moderate energy trauma and need of surgical treatment were included. Control group:  24 fresh cadaveric femoral specimens, 12 from male and 12 from female, were included.  A Trephine with a diameter of 1 cm was used to obtain a bone column with a size being 2cm in height and 1cm in diameter (the drill was placed on the intertrochanteric region by a uniform approach). The bone column was used for microstructural morphological study and quantitative analysis. Results  The trabecular connectivity decreased and the trabecula gradually disappeared.  in a certain width of bone, the trabecula was sparse and the percentage of trabecular area versus the whole bone area was relatively small. The average distance between trabeculae was long and the number of trabecularnodes was relatively small, while the free ends of the  bone trabeculae increased. Comparison of Trabecular number, Trabecular width, Trabecular separation, %Trabecular bone area, Number of nodes/Free end between the two groups revealed significantly statistical difference(P<0.05). Conclusions The elderly femoral intertrochanteric bone microstructure morphologic parameters have important guiding significances to osteoporosis treatment and appropriate functional exercise.
