Osteoporotic hip fracture is associated with high mortality and morbidity and often results in
a loss of mobility and independence. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review surveys recent literature related to cortical bone
fracture mechanics and its application towards understanding bone fragility and hip …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the
main determinant of the clinical evaluation of hip fracture risk. However, it has been shown …

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has developed Official Positions
to assist healthcare providers in addressing some of the issues inherent with the use of bone …

Hip fracture is the most disastrous osteoporotic fracture, characterized by high mortality,
morbidity and institutionalization for the patient and by high economic costs for the health …

Introduction: We evaluated effects of teriparatide (rDNA origin) injection [teriparatide, rhPTH
(1–34), TPTD] on hip structure among a subset 558 postmenopausal women enrolled in the …

We experimentally studied the distribution of hip fracture types at different structural
mechanical strength. Femoral neck fractures were dominant at the lowest structural strength …

Peak bone mass is genetically determined, but little is known about the heritability of bone
loss. Inbred mice were ovariectomized at 16 weeks of age and killed at three time‐points …

Computerized analysis of the trabecular structure was used to test whether femur failure
load can be estimated from radiographs. The study showed that combined analysis of …

Several DXA‐based structural engineering models (SEMs) of the proximal femur have been
developed to estimate stress caused by sideway falls. Their usefulness in discriminating hip …
