Table 1 The main bone histomorphometric parameters and their significance

Parameters	Meaning	Significance
BV/TV	Trabecular bone volume per total tissue volume	In osteoporotic patients, BV/TV significantly decreases, accompanied by low BMD
Tb.Th	Trabecular thickness	Trabeculae become thinner with the progression of osteoporosis for both women and men
Tb.N	Trabecular number	In osteoporotic patients, the decrease in Tb.N is usually greater in women than in men
Tb.Sp	Trabecular separation	Tb.Sp increases with the progression of osteoporosis
Co.Po	Cortical porosity	With the progression of osteoporosis, Co.Po increases, accompanied by low cortical BMD

BV/TV: Bone volume fraction; Tb.Th: Trabecular thickness; Tb.N: Trabecular number; Tb.Sp: Trabecular separation; BMD: Bone mineral density.
