Predict of Fracture Risk Rate According to Morphological Measuring of Proximal Femoral Part Using Dual Energy X-ray Absoptiometry

이중에너지 X선 흡수계측법을 이용한 대퇴골 근위부의 형태학적 측정에 따른 골절 위험도의 예측

The femoral fracture is the most serious problem of old ages haying osteoporotic fractures. First of all, prevention to reduce the incidence of hip fracture and to identify the risk factor is essential subject. The purpose of this study is to investigate which geometric parameters of proximal femur are related to the hip fracture risk in old ages. Author analyzed the bone density and bone content of over 60 years old women who had suffered hip fracture (n=60) and non fracture groups (n=60). Author concluded that geometric measurements of proximal femoral part made on dual energy x-ray absorptiometry can predict hip fracture independently of bone mineral density.
