Transmission and scanning electron microscopy confirm that bone microstructure is similar in osteopenic and osteoporotic patients.

CONCLUSION: Although a significant difference in cortical thickness was found between the groups, transmission and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that bone microstructure shared similar characteristics in osteopenic and osteoporotic patients with low-energy femoral neck fracture, as it was in previous light microscopy study.
