More aggravated osteoporosis in lateral trochanter compared to femoral neck with age: Contributing age difference between inter-trochanteric and femoral neck fractures in elderly patients
Injury, 09/09/09

Wu CC et al. – One important predisposing factor to affect patients with inter–trochanteric fractures older than those with femoral neck fractures may be that the BMD is further lowered in the lateral trochanter compared to the femoral neck with age. It may be caused by lack of compressive loads in the lateral trochanter in daily activity. All devices which may increase bone mass in the lateral trochanter, theoretically, may be helpful in lowering the incidence of hip fractures.
