The Cancellous, or spongy bone is made of Trabeculae, which are thin rods or plates of bone that often run in the same direction as the stress applied to the bone. Stress on the bone may be in the form of gravity, or it may occur due to common force applied to the limb. Which can ultimately cause weakness in your bones.

How does loss of cancellous bone affect osteoporosis?

Loss of cancellous bone, or trabecular bone, significantly contributes to the development and progression of osteoporosis. This type of bone is highly porous and provides structural support and strength, particularly in weight-bearing areas like the spine and hips. As cancellous bone is lost, the overall bone density decreases, leading to increased fragility and a higher risk of fractures. Consequently, the weakening of skeletal integrity due to cancellous bone loss is a key factor in the clinical manifestations of osteoporosis.
