3D visualization and pathological characteristics of cartilage and subchondral bone changes in the lumbar facet joint of an ovariectomized mouse model

Low back pain (LBP) is more prevalent among postmenopausal women than men. Ovariectomy (OVX) is an established animal model that mimics the estrogen deficiency of postmenopausal women. Little is known about the 3D morphological properties of cartilage and subchondral bone changes in the lumbar facet joint (LFJ) of an OVX mouse model.
