- Abstract
The article highlights a study that aimed to find the relative contributions of bone mass, trabecular microarchitecture and cortical thickness and curvature to human lumbar vertebrae. The study was participated by thirty-one L3 vertebrae, with 116 men and 15 women who underwent lateral dual energy X-ray absoprtiometry and micro-computed tomography. The study concluded that cortical thickness and curvature measurement can be useful in determining fracture risk and that it can also be used in therapies that can reduce fracture risk.
