Abstract excerpt
Femoral neck areal bone mineral density (FN aBMD) is a key determinant of fracture risk in older adults; however, the majority of individuals who have a hip fracture are not considered osteoporotic according to their FN aBMD. This study uses novel tools to investigate the characteristics of bone microarchitecture that underpin bone fragility. Recent hip fracture patients (n = 108, 77% female) were compared with...
