A correlation exists between subchondral bone mineral density of the distal radius and systemic bone mineral density.

Abstract
Intraarticular distal radius fractures are common and risk articular congruity owing to disruption of the subchondral bone. Studies regarding microstructure and mechanical properties of the distal radius, however, focus only on the cortical and trabecular bones in the metaphysis and not on the subchondral bone.
