Hip axis length is a FRAX- and bone density-independent risk factor for hip fracture in women.
CONTEXT Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used to assess skeletal strength in clinical practice, but DXA instruments can also measure biomechanical parameters related to skeletal shape. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine whether DXA-derived hip geometry measures provide information on fracture prediction that is ind...
متن کاملLower Bone Mineral Density is Associated with Intertrochanteric Hip Fracture
Background: A better understanding of how bone mineral density and vitamin D levels are associated with femoralneck and intertrochanteric hip fractures may help inform healthcare providers. We asked: 1) In patients age ≥ 55 years,is there a difference in quantitative ultrasound of the heel (QUS) t-score between patients with fractures of the femoralneck and those with fractures of the intertroc...
متن کاملAirflow limitation as a risk factor for low bone mineral density and hip fracture
AIM To investigate whether airflow limitation is associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of hip fractures. METHODS A community sample of 5,100 subjects 47-48 and 71-73 years old and living in Bergen was invited. Participants filled in questionnaires and performed a post-bronchodilator spirometry measuring forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)....
متن کاملHip Surgery in Quiescent or Active Tubercular Hip Arthritis; Is Reactivation Risk Really a Matter
About 15 % of all musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) have hip involvement. Early anti-tubercular drug therapy and other conservative treatment including short-term traction and mobilization programs could prevent hip joint destruction. Reactivation of TB accounts for a significant of active TB incidence, especially in the developed countries with a low TB prevalence. The risk of TB activation ...
متن کاملBone density and geometry in assessing hip fracture risk in post-menopausal women.
We used femoral neck structural parameters (FNSPs), calculated from bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of the femoral neck by dual X-ray absorptiometry, to discriminate osteoporotic fractures of the proximal femur in post-menopausal women. We compared 1646 women without fracture and 429 women with hip fractures, including 273 with femoral neck (FN) and 156 with trochanter (TR) fractures. T...
