Whole-body and site-specific bone remodelling in patients with previous femoral fractures: relationships between reduced physical activity, reduced bone mass and increased bone resorption.

1. A new tracer method is described for the non-invasive measurement of bone formation in the proximal femur. The method is based on our previously described whole-body method using 85Sr as the tracer (Reeve, J., Hesp, R. and Wootton, R. Calcif. Tissue Res. 1976; 22, 191-206). It allows correction t...
