“…Prospective studies in postmenopausal women, showing that QUS can predict fracture risk independently of BMD, suggest that QUS may give us additional information such as the quality of bone [40][41][42][43] . This may be because QUS reflects micro-architectural or other mechanical properties of bone.…”

“…We found that all subjects in the lowest quartile for QUS measurements, 51.3% were also identified in the lowest quartiles for LS BMD, 45.9% for TB BMD and 37.8% for TB BMC measurements by DXA. In adults, phalangeal QUS has been shown to predict hip fractures independently of BMD as measured by DXA (Mele et al 1997;Damilakis et al 2004). In our subjects, those with previous fractures had lower DXA and phalangeal QUS values than teenagers without fractures, but these differences were not statistically significant except for TB BMD.…”

“…However, there appears to be no data available in the literature that has compared phalangeal QUS to total body and lumbar spine BMD measured by DXA in children and adolescents. Data in the adult population demonstrate some variances between these two techniques; however, it has not been established if this discordance also occurs in the pediatric population (Alenfeld et al 1998;Damilakis et al 2004).…”

“…Although this was the first investigation to assess the prospective ability of mQUS to predict fracture, other investigations have assessed this device retrospectively . Multiple investigations have compared the mQUS‐assessed SOS between fractured and unfractured cohorts to determine whether the mQUS could differentiate those who had suffered a fracture from those who had not.…”
