Objection: We compared T-scores of each femoral neck and trochanteric area in the neck fracture patients (NFP) and intertrochanteric fracture patients (IFP). Our hypothesis is that T-score of neck portion in NFP is lower than T-score of neck portion in IFP, and vice versa. We evaluate how FRAX probability is meaningful and sensitive in hip fracture patients.Meterials and methods: From April, 2003 to September, 2012, 18...

Introduction: A significant number of patient who have experienced previous surgical treatment for an osteoporotic hip fracture, experienced a subsequent hip fracture (SHF) on the opposite side. The incidence of asynchronous bilateral hip fractures is 1.7–14.8%. All hip fracture patients treated at five university hospitals in the Inchon and Bucheon area of Korea, were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups, a group that had experienced subsequent hip fractur...
