| Abstract | Background Understanding the intraosseous vascularity of the femoral head is important for preserving its structural integrity and function. Disruptions in microcirculation can lead to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This anatomical study aimed to quantify the regional distribution of the microvessels within the trabecular bone of the femoral head. Methods Eleven beagles (five males, six females) were infused with intra-aortic radiopaque silicon, followed by micro-computed tomography imaging and 3D modelling using Avizo. EXAKT non-decalcified plastinated tissue histology of the proximal femur was performed and quantified using the Bioquant Osteo semi-automated histomorphometry with ImageJ. Vascular diameter, density, length density, and osteochondral parameters were calculated and compared within the subcortical and central zones of the femoral head in both sexes. Results A well-developed intraosseous microvascular network was identified within the trabecular struts, resembling Volkmann’s canals and integrating into Haversian system at the subchondral compact bone. Dense capillary networks traversed both trabecular and cortical bone to supply articular cartilage. Subcortical microvasculature was denser, with thinner diameters and shorter lengths compared to the central zone. The middle part of the femoral head displayed higher subcortical vascular density compared to superior and inferior parts. Strong positive correlations were observed between the endocortical area, tissue area, mean cortical width, bone surface and trabecular spacing. A moderate negative correlation was found between quiescent surface and cartilage density. No significant sex differences were observed in vascularity or bone metrics. Conclusion Based on the spatial distribution of the microvasculature, the central zone serves as a conduit for primary intraosseous blood vessels, supplying the subcortical zone, including the cortex and articular cartilage. These findings establish baseline reference values for normal intraosseous microvessels and bone metrics in canine anatomy, which can be utilized for diagnosing and treating osteochondral diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
