A novel mechanism for induction of increased cortical porosity in cases of intracapsular hip fracture.
It has been suggested that, in hip fracture, the cortex on the inferoanterior (IA) to superoposterior (SP) axis is thinned and shows increased porosity. This is dependent on the presence of giant canals (i.e., diameter >385 microm), which are related to clusters of remodeling osteons. To inve...
