Cortical hand bone porosity and its association with distal radius fracture in middle aged and elderly women.
OBJECTIVE: Reduced bone mineral density (BMD), assessed by Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), is a well-known risk factor for fragility fracture. A large proportion of patients with fracture have only slightly reduced BMD. Assessment of other bone structure features than BMD may improve identif...
