Spatial distribution of hip cortical thickness in postmenopausal women with different osteoporotic fractures

Few studies h ave discussed the association between cortical bone outside the fracture site and the fracture itself. Focusing on hip cortical thickness, this study revealed distinct distributions of the parameters for hip (trochanteric or femoral neck), vertebral, and peripheral osteoporotic fractures and suggested that the spatial distribution of hip cortical thickness was fracture-specific.Cortical bone is critical for bone strength. Hip...
