Opportunistic assessment of bone quality using CT-derived hounsfield units in postmenopausal women with femoral trochanteric fractures.

BACKGROUND CT-derived Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements may provide an opportunistic assessment of bone density when dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is difficult to obtain during acute treatment of femoral trochanteric fractures. We compared three femoral-head regions of interest (ROIs) and explored their abilit...
