Thanks Phil - appreciate your help although I think calcagno is calcaneus or heel rather than ankle. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/conditions/aches-and-pains/a2847/...

Hi Phil, I am in a bit of a rush with this one which is why I posted for help on here. I wanted the correct term - cancellous bone?

Hi Sarah I can see that the whole sentence might be tricky, but surely spongiosa is very straightforward.

Selected

trabecular or cancellous bone

I'd use one of the above options for a medical report.

Another synonym is spongy bone.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Why don't you like spongiosa? They could have said osso trabecolare or cancelloso, but they didn't.

spongiosa

"The part of a bone (as much of the epiphyseal area of long bones) made up of spongy cancellous bone."

Calcagno is ankle, of course.

"It has recently been theorized that, because of ultrahigh congruency of the ankle joint, the synovial fluid forces its way into small cracks in the subchondral bone, creating caverns in the spongiosa."
