The trabecular bone is also called a spongy bone. It contains bone marrow and compared to regular bone, it is a lot weaker and a lot softer. Osteoporosis affects the trabecular bones more than regular bones.

What is found throughout the trabecular?

The trabecular bone, also known as cancellous or spongy bone, contains a network of small, interconnected struts and plates that provide structural support and flexibility. Within this porous architecture, bone marrow is found, which is responsible for producing blood cells. Additionally, trabecular bone contains osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts, which are essential for bone maintenance and remodeling. This type of bone is typically found at the ends of long bones, within the vertebrae, and in the interior of flat bones.


What does trabecular thickening mean?

Trabecular thickening refers to an increase in the density or bulk of the trabecular bone, which is the spongy network of bone tissue found at the ends of long bones and within the vertebrae. This can be a response to increased mechanical loading or as part of the aging process to provide greater structural support and strength to the bone.
