| [ Summary ] |
Total parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism led to an increase in bone formation, including osteoid formation and mineralized bone formation in cancellous bone. However, its effects on cortical bone tissue are not completely known. Bone formation through minimodeling increased after surgery. Therefore, it was thought that minimodeling is one of the factors increasing bone mineral density and bone structure. The number of osteocytes decreased after surgery, and the number of empty lacunae increased, indicating a rise in mineralized bone volume in the future. |
