From: Vasculature deprivation – induced osteonecrosis of the rat femoral head as a model for therapeutic trials

Figure 1

Several fissures (arrows) split the degenerated joint cartilage. The articular aspect of the femoral head is segmentally polished and eburnated (arrowheads). The intertrabecular spaces contain hematopoietic-fatty tissue (square) or hyalinized fibrous tissue (triangle). The physis is uninterrupted all along its path (asterisks). Inset: Residual necrotic bone within the fibrous tissue surrounded by some osteoblasts and an osteoclast (arrow).
