Histologically, these structures are immature fibrous bone. Their genesis, frequency, and importance are largely unknown. To address these issues, 26 normal human spines, 11 osteoporotic spines, and different parts of the skeleton (femur head, iliac crest) were investigated for microcallus using a new preparation technique\u2014allowing a combined 2- and 3-dimensional analysis. According to our analysis, microcallus formation occurs frequently in persons older than 45 years of age. These formations are mainly localized in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine and are obviously more frequent in females than in males. In individuals with a trabecular bone volume (BV\/TV) in the spine below 11%, microcallus formations occur regularly. But the number of microcallus formations depends more on the microarchitecture of the cancellous bone (trabecular bone pattern factor, TBPf), than on individual trabecular parameters (trabecular number, TbN; trabecular bone volume, BV\/TV; and trabecular thickness, TbTh). In about 33% of cases microfractures are demonstrable in the center of the microcallus formation. It is unclear whether microcallus may be the result of a nontraumatic process. In therapy studies the bone mass could be misrepresented due to the amount of microcallus. Although it indicates instability of the bone structure, microcallus formation is not only a negative mechanism, but stabilizes and regenerates the bone tissue. Furthermore, complete new trabeculae can be formed due to bridges of microcallus between the remnant trabeculae. Osteoporosis is not the result of an inability to form microcallus formations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.5650100919","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,3]],"date-time":"2010-02-03T16:12:08Z","timestamp":1265213528000},"page":"1410-1416","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Microcallus formations of the cancellous bone: A quantitative analysis of the human spine"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"DipL.
