New quantitative ultrasound techniques for bone analysis at the distal radius in hip fracture cases: differences between femoral neck and trochanteric fractures.

CONCLUSIONS: The new QUS parameters indicated that TR fracture cases were more osteoporotic than were FN fracture cases, even at the distal radius. There might be systemic differences between them, in addition to localized factors at the proximal femur. PMID: 28740521 [PubMed]
