Characteristics of bone biochemical indices in predicting secondary osteoporotic fracture after intertrochanteric fracture in elderly women

Background: This study aimed to explore the characteristics of bone biochemical indices, including bone mineral density (BMD), metabolic markers in elderly women with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture and their relevance in secondary fracture. Methods: The standard for follow-up from 58 elderl...
