Objective: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have the potential ability to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells and osteoblasts for angiogenesis and osteogenesis, however, the correlation between number and population of bone marrow EPCs with bone mass and bone metabolism in elderly is unknown.Methods: Trabecular bone were extracted from 11 patients with fragility fracture and eight patients with osteoarthritis during artificial hip replacemen...
