Histomorphometric measurements were made from iliac crest biopsies of 32 women with vertebral fractures and 37 women without fracture. All were post-menopausal Australian women who had presented with back pain to a hospital out-patient endocrinology clinic. Bone from the fracture cases was characterised by loss of individual trabecular elements, with the remaining trabeculae being spaced further apart than those in the non-fracture women (p < 0.0001). This resulted in a significant decrease in trabecular bone volume (p < 0.01). In addition osteoid surface was reduced (p < 0.01). Dynamic parameters of bone turnover were not significantly different between the two groups. These data should be useful for the assessment of iliac bone histomorphometry in Australian post-menopausal women suspected of having osteporosis.
