Preoperative measures of bone mineral density from digital wrist radiographs

Preoperative measures of bone mineral density from digital wrist radiographs

Aims: Assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a well-established clinical technique, but it is not available in the acute trauma setting. Thus, it cannot provide a preoperative estimation of BMD to help guide the technique of fracture fixation. Alterna...
