Abstract
Although both spinal cord injury (SCI) and sciatic neurectomy (NX) can cause osteopaenia in young rats, the effects of these two injuries on cortical and cancellous bone may differ. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of SCI and NX on bone weight, bone material property, bone mass, bone geometry, trabecular microarchitecture, mechanical strength and bone turnover in young rats.
