In Vivo Mechanical Assessment of Cortical Bone Rigidity Enhances Fracture Discrimination Beyond DXA in Postmenopausal Women
2025-08-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived areal bone mineral density (BMD) remains the clinical standard for assessing osteoporosis risk, yet it fails to identify over 75% of individuals who sustain fragility fractures. Direct in vivo mechanical assessment of cortical bone strength may address this diagnostic gap by capturing structural and material properties that govern whole-bone strengt...
