Free Abstract

Sherk VD et al. - Amputees exhibited large decrements in bone density, both at the hip and at the end of the residual limb compared to the intact side. These lower BMD values put amputees, particularly the above-knee amputees, at increased risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures in the hip.
