Human femoral neck has less cellular periosteum, and more mineralized periosteum, than femoral diaphyseal bone [PDF]
Periosteal expansion enhances bone strength and is controlled by osteogenic cells of the periosteum. The extent of cellular periosteum at the human femoral neck, a clinically relevant site, is unclear.
