Pidgeon TS, et al. - Authors conducted this study to assess the relationship between femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly patients with typical geriatric fractures and mortality and fracture fixation failure using Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT). Findings established that for the determination of femoral neck BMD in elderly patients with geriatric fractures, QCT was a reliable method. Moreover, lower BMD/T-Scores seemed related with increased mortality and fixation failures in this patient population.
