  • Title: Osteoclast counting in crista biopsies.
    Author: Johnell O, Wiklund PE, Hulth A.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1977; 48(6):566-71. PubMed ID: 607744.
    Abstract:
    A description is given of a modified method of counting osteoclasts both per section area and also relative to the remaining trabeculae surface area in crista biopsies. The material consisted of normal individuals, patients with clinical osteoporosis, and patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis. The number of osteoclasts in the biopsies from normal and osteoporotic individuals showed a normal distribution with the same mean. In the haemodialysis patients there was a marked skew distribution. In normal individuals, there was a significant decrease in the number of osteoclasts per section area with age, but this was not significant when calculated relative to the bone surface area.
