BMD: bone mineral density; DXA: dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; FRAX: Fracture Risk Assessment Tool.
* Fragility fractures are those occurring spontaneously or from minor trauma (eg, a fall from a standing height or less).The most common sites of fragility fracture are the spine (vertebral compression fractures), hip, and wrist. Fragility fractures also occur at the humerus, rib, and pelvis.
¶ Some individuals with osteoporosis are at very high risk of fracture. No consensus exists on the definition of very high fracture risk. Examples may include:Δ When the hip or lumbar spine cannot be measured due to structural abnormalities (eg, osteoarthritis), the 33% (one-third) radius can be measured and considered for diagnostic classification.
◊ We use FRAX to calculate absolute risk of fracture. In the United States, high risk is defined as a 10-year probability of:آیا می خواهید مدیلیب را به صفحه اصلی خود اضافه کنید؟
