High indices of remodelling in iliac trabecular bone predict reduced forearm cortical bone mass indices in patients with proximal femoral fractures.
To investigate whether high bone turnover could be a predictor of cortical bone loss and a candidate risk factor for fractures of the proximal femur, 33 7.5-mm transiliac biopsies taken at fracture fixation from 48 patients who participated in a study of potential risk factors have been quantitated....
