Figure 29-6 • A, Ventrodorsal view of the pelvis, hips, and femurs of the Wooly monkey shown in Figure 29-5 shows multiple

abnormalities, including (1) collapsed pelvis, (2) multiple femoral insufficiency fractures, (3) disorganized new bone on both the interior and
exterior surfaces of the left femur (right), and (4) poor corticomedullary distinction. B, Close-up view of the left hip and proximal femur
shows the distinctive “apple core” appearance of a subacute femoral neck fracture and the typical washed-out appearance of nutritionally
deprived bone that eventually succumbs to insuffi ciency fracture.
