From: The ontogeny of human fetal trabecular bone architecture occurs in a limb-specific manner
Mean and standard deviation of fetal trabecular architectural parameters at different fetal ages for humerus (filled circles) and femur (empty circles). Male and female data have been pooled. Comparison of mean morphometric values at 5–9 months relative to 4 months reveals significant increases in the size of the femur and humerus (VOI diameter), trabecular thickness, and BV/TV (femur only) during gestation. However, little reorganisation of trabecular structure is observed in either bone. Data were compared by one-way ANOVA with Šídák posthoc tests. P values shown for significant results from one-way ANOVA (unboxed = femur, boxed = humerus). Details of P values from Šídák posthoc tests can be found in Table S5.
