Abstract		We analysed structural bone variables concerning trabecular microarchitectural changes and statical variables of bone turnover concerning osteoid accumulation and cellular numerical areal density in proximal femur. We chose 15 femaes with pertrochanteric fractures, 14 females with femoral neck fractures and 10 females without fracuture who had died recently of heart or cerebrovascular disease. No osteoporosis, renal insufficiency and disease of endocrine system had been diagnosed previously. All were aged between 70 and 80. Volume density of osteoid, surface density of osteoid and proportion of osteoid in trabeculae were significantly bigger in the pertrochanteric fractures group (p<0,01) than in the control group. Surface density of trabeculae and specific surface density of trabeculae were significantly bigger in the femoral neck fractures group (p<0,05) than in the control group. In our patients with femoral neck fractures we predominantly found type A osteoporosis and in patients with pertrochanteric fractures we predominantly found type B osteoporosis according to histological types of Bartl and Frisch.
