Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) - based histopathological characterization of AVNFH and control bone. (A) Section of a typical control bone, (B) section of a trauma induced AVNFH sample showing a large number of cement lines in the trabeculae reflecting sites of excessive bone-remodelling (black arrow), (C) section of non-adjacent diseased region in an AVNFH bone showing large number of empty lacunae in the trabaculae (black arrow), (D) section of AVNFH bone showing necrosis of the marrow associated with affected area (black arrow), (E) section of AVNFH bone showing the presence of calcified marrow associated with adjacent non-diseased areas of the bone (black arrow), (F) section of AVNFH bone showing the presence of poorly vascularized fibrous marrow in the necrotic areas (black arrow).
