Abstract Summary
Low body mass index and reduced bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and hip significantly increase the risk of lateral wall fractures in elderly women with intertrochanteric femoral fractures. This study of 49 postmenopausal patients identifies key risk factors that could help clinicians predict fracture complexity and optimize treatment strategies.
Why Brain? ðŸ§
Low BMI and reduced bone density at spine and hip significantly increase risk of complex hip fractures with lateral wall damage in elderly women, helping identify patients needing closer monitoring.
