Evaluation of cortical thickness and cortical thickness index in the proximal femur-CT, dual energy absorptiometry (DXA), trabecular bone score (TBS).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the anatomical size of proximal femur in South Korea. This study measured cortical thickness and cortical thickness index (CTI) based on computed tomography (CT) and additionally, evaluated the T-score and trabecular bone score (TBS) based on the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Materials and methods

This retrospective study is a cross-sectional study based on data from 600 patients aged from 20 to 93 years during the time from 2011 to 2021 were enrolled and selected the patients who did the examination of both pelvic CT and DXA scan. Age, sex, BMI, T-score, TBS, cortical thickness, CTI and the size of proximal femur were analyzed. Among these patients, 200 patients each corresponding to femoral neck fracture group(N = 2
