Hip fragility fracture

1. DXA T-score predicts hip fragility fracture in humans (68.1%).

   “A combination of baseline FN T-score, TH T-score, lumbar spine T-score, and spine fracture-like deformity assessment predicted 68.1% of the female cases with a follow-up hip FFx”

1. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry predicts hip fragility fracture in humans (approximately 70%).

   “If a DXA scan is regularly performed, approximately 70% of the hip FFx incidents can be predicted for older women and men.”
