The aim of this study was to compare data on the volume fraction of bone and the thickness of the cortical compact bone acquired during microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis with data acquired from identical samples using stereological analysis of either decalcified paraffin sections or ground sections. Additionally, we aimed to compare adjacent tissue samples taken from the major trochanter of the porcine femur to map the basic biological variability of trabecular bone.
