Added Value of Impact Microindentation in the Evaluation of Bone Fragility: A Systematic Review of the Literature

The current gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the prediction of fracture risk is the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A low BMD is clearly associated with increased fracture risk, but BMD is not the only determinant of bone str...
