The measurement of osteoporosis in clinical practice. Comparison of histological and radiological methods

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Queen's Medical Centre, University Hospital, Nottingham, England.

In a prospective study of the measurement of osteoporosis in patients with fracture of the femoral neck, we compared a histological with a radiological method. We found no significant correlation between histological planimetry and the radiological six metacarpal hand index in patients with either cervical or trochanteric fractures. This demonstrates that metacarpal morphometry cannot predict histological osteoporosis of the iliac crest.
