Zusammenfassung
Zielsetzung: We investigated the associations of biomechanically motivated strength indices of the proximal femur derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) with hip fracture risk among elderly men. Material und Methodik: Using a case-cohort sampling design nested within the MrOS cohort, we evaluated QCT scans of 230 men (age 74.3±6 years, 65 with confirmed hip fractures) with Mindways' QCTPRO BIT software. New failure mode specific bone strength indices for the femoral neck (FN) and for the trochanteric (TR) regions were defined, both for the respective entire cross sections and their quadrants.
