The small area of the previous cancellous tissue,which transmits the pressure from the diaphyseal tubeof the tibia to that of the femur, merges into compacttissue ; the rest of the cancellous tissue, on the inner andouter side, atrophies. So here it appears that cancelloustissue may pass into compact hone as well as conversely justas—the pressure remaining the same—the transverse sectiontransmitting the pressure either becomes smaller or larger. It must be observed also that the cancellous tissuein the immediate proximity of the compact newly-formedtube has in some parts almost totally disappeared, whilst. Fig. 32
