Conclusion: In asymptomatic post-menopausal women, the FRAX risk for major fracture without BMD had a better An anterior-posterior x-ray of the pelvis should be obtained to rule out an ipsilateral femoral neck fracture.

Of 1,199 men with DM, 32 experienced a hip fracture and 133 a nonspine fracture during an average follow-up of 7.5 years. The researchers found that femoral neck (segment of bone connecting the head of the femur and the shaft) BMD T score and FRAX score 1) THA produced better hip function than ORIF at all time-points as indicated by higher Harris Hip Scores. 2) Patients in the ORIF group experience complications earlier and required a major reoperation more frequently than THA patients. .
