Bone strain index in the prediction of vertebral fragility refracture

Bone strain index in the prediction of vertebral fragility refracture

Abstract Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can provide quantitative (bone mineral density, BMD) and qualitative (trabecular bone score, TBS) indexes of bone status, able to predict fragility fractures in most osteoporotic patients. A new qualitative index of bone strength, based on finite eleme...
