Freezing does not influence the microarchitectural parameters of the microstructure of the freshly harvested femoral head bone

Résumé

The femoral head is one of the most commonly used bones for allografts and biomechanical studies. However, there are few reports on the trabecular bone microarchitectural parameters of freshly harvested trabecular bones. To our knowledge, this is the first study to characterize the microstructure of femoral heads tested immediately after surgery and compare it with the microstructure obtained with conventional freezing. This study aims to investigate whether freezing at −80 °C for 6 weeks affects the trabecular microstructure of freshly harvested bone tissue. This study was divided into two groups: one with freshly harvested human femoral heads and the other with the same human femoral heads frozen at −80 °C for 6 weeks. Each femoral head was scanned using an X-ray microcomputed tomography scanner (µCT) to obtain the microarchitectural parameters, including the bone volume fraction (BV/TV), the mean trabecular thickness (Tb.th), the trabecular separation (Tb.sp), the degree of anisotropy (DA), and the connectivity density (Conn.D). There was no statistically significant difference between the fresh and the frozen groups for any of the parameters measured. This study shows that freezing at −80 °C for 6 weeks does not alter bone microstructure compared with freshly harvested femoral heads tested immediately after surgery.
