This study investigated regional variations in the 3D microstructure of trabecular bone in human proximal femur, with respect to aging. The results demonstrate that age-related changes in trabecular microstructure significantly varied from different sub-regions of the proximal femur. ⋯ Age-related changes in bone loss and trabecular microstructure within the male proximal femur are not uniform in this cadaveric population.
