- Abstract
This article discusses research into aspects of femoral bone structure that can contribute to predictions of osteoporotic hip fracture in older men. The researchers used quantitative computing tomography scans of the femoral neck to collect data used to correlate differences in cortical volume and related differences in the proximal femur with hip fractures. While this did not yield an improved diagnostic measure for risk of hip fracture, it did indicate new risk factors for that injury.
