Figure 3

Mean and standard deviation of fetal trabecular architectural parameters for the humerus (left bar in each pair) and femur (right bar in each pair) in females (black bars), males (light grey bars), and female and male data combined (dark grey bars). Comparison of combined male and female datasets revealed the fetal femur is larger (VOI diameter), with increased bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) than the fetal humerus and exhibited slightly lower DA. Data were compared by one-way ANOVA with Šídák posthoc tests. P values shown for significant results from one-way ANOVA. Asterisks indicate significant differences in posthoc testing: p < 0.05 (*) and p < 0.01 (**).
