Abstract
The major problems in bone biopsy procedures have been the variation in the type of bone analyzed and the parameters in which the results are expressed. The former results in different data for legitimate reasons because trabecular and cortical bone behave differently and lead to different quantitative results. The latter leads to confusion among those not familiar with morphometric techniques and requires a perhaps unreasonable effort in understanding the differences between different sets of data.
