Histomorphometry is often adopted as a methodological approach in research of femoral bone structure. However, it is common do not describe technical details of procedure especially on the steps of macroscopy, paraffin embedding and microtomy. So we propose a simplified, reliable and reproducible method of histological processing for intertrochanteric region and femoral neck of mice, to ensure the achievement of tissue sections with similar structures, cell populations and his...
