Abstract
The latest revision of the bone remodeling process has now established that it involves three successive phases: (1) a short initial resorption phase by primary osteoclasts, (2) a longer reversal-resorption phase with intermixed osteoblastic reversal cells and secondary osteoclasts, and (3) a subsequent formation phase. The present chapter focuses on: (1) the histological characteristics of remodeling sites within the reversal-resorption phase, (2) a new definition of the eroded surfaces largely reflecting the reversal-resorption phase, (3) the histological characteristics of eroded surfaces arrested within the reversal-resorption phase, (4) the contribution of a prolonged reversal-resorption phase to the bone loss with age, utilizing cortical porosity as a measure of the bone loss.
