Evidence for bone formation on the external "periosteal" surface of the femoral neck: a comparison of intracapsular hip fracture cases and controls.
Age-related expansion of the external surface of the femoral neck in order to offset generalized bone loss is potentially an important mechanism whereby hip strength and hence resistance to hip fracture is maintained. However, it has been widely assumed that bone formation is precluded from this ext...
