Abstract:
Bone histomorphometric measurements are required to understand the efficacy
of treatment on bone remodelling. Previous studies used the Weibel technique
as a quantitative stereological method to determine bone cellular and dynamic
changes. However, there was no description on how this technique was applied.
This studyaimed to provide a full picture about the utilization of the Weibel
technique to measure static and dynamic bone histomorphometric indices.
Technical expertise, processing of bone samples, randomization of the trabecular
sections and an adequate number of analysed images for each section are required to achieve reliable results with a low possibility of errors.
