Summary Contemporary femur fracture rates were examined in northern California women and compared by race/ethnicity. During 2006–2012, hip fracture rates declined, but diaphyseal fracture rates increased, especially in Asians. Women with diaphyseal fracture were younger and more likely to be bisphosphonate-treated. These disparities in femur fracture should be further examined. Introduction The...
Femoral neck fractures have previously been shown to be associated with increased cortical and endocortical remodeling, reduced wall thickness of endocortical packets and cortical porosity. Femoral neck width is associated positively with history of lifetime physical activity; so we hypothesized that exposure to mechanical loading may influence the subperiosteal osteoblastic response to the weakening...
Patients with coxarthrosis (cOA) have a reduced incidence of intracapsular femoral neck fracture, suggesting that cOA offers protection. The distribution of bone in the femoral neck was compared in cases of coxarthrosis and postmortem controls to assess the possibility that disease-associated changes might contribute to reduced fragility. Whole cross-section femoral neck biopsies were obtained from...
A total of 125 consecutive hip fracture patients were investigated regarding hip geometry. There were 33 men of mean age 76 ± 10 years, and 92 women of mean age 78 ± 9 years. Patients with previous hip surgery were excluded. Hip geometry (hip-axis length, width of collum femoris, and femoral shaft and neck-shaft angle) were registered on both plain radiographs and DEXA scans performed within 2...
