Exploring the determinants of fracture risk among individuals with spinal cord injury
Abstract
In this cross-sectional study, we found that areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at the knee and specific tibia bone geometry variables are associated with fragility fractures in men and women with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).IntroductionLow aBMD of the hip and knee regions have been associated with fractures among individuals with chronic motor complete SCI; however, it is unclear whether these variables can be used to identify those at …
