Muscle mass measurements in hip fracture patients and control general population depending on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry device used: The General Electric Lunar and Hologic systems
Abstract:Objectives
The prevalence of sarcopenia, an independent risk factor for fragility fractures, is high in geriatric hip fracture patients. We aim to compare patients with hip fractures to the general population using different dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) devices – General Electric (GE) Lunar and Hologic.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed data of patients diagnosed with osteoporotic hip fractures. At our institute, 252 patients with hip fractures were measured… Show more
