Background:

Bone microstructure is key to understanding osteoporosis pathophysiology.
Assessing bone microstructure is challenging due to sample properties and software limitations.
Current methods like micro-CT and histomorphometry have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a cost-effective and user-friendly protocol for trabecular bone microstructure analysis.
To integrate micro-CT and histological techniques for comprehensive bone assessment.
To provide detailed steps and precautions for accurate bone microstructure evaluation.

Main Methods:

Utilized micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) for non-destructive 3D imaging of bone structure.
Employed traditional histological techniques: decalcification and paraffin embedding.
Combined 2D and 3D imaging approaches for detailed bone analysis.

Main Results:

Developed a protocol for analyzing trabecular bone microstructure.
Demonstrated a method for objective and quantitative evaluation of bone quality.
Achieved comprehensive assessment by integrating micro-CT and histology.

Conclusions:

The combined micro-CT and histological approach provides more comprehensive and accurate bone microstructure information.
This protocol offers a practical solution for trabecular bone analysis.
The method aids in understanding osteoporosis and improving treatment strategies.
