Cortical Thickness Index of the Proximal Femur: A Radiographic Parameter for Preliminary Assessment of Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis Status in the Age 50 Years and Over Population

BACKGROUND: Bone mineral density (BMD) is the indicator of bone quality in at-risk individuals. Along with the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX), a quick assessment of BMD from routine radiographs may be useful in the case of lacking X-ray absorptiometry data. This study aimed to investigate the...
