Some fractures involve both bones; others affect only one. The fracture itself may take place on the bulbous ends of the bones known as the malleolus, which include: Of these, the posterior malleolus ...

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or formerly DEXA) is a technique used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). The preferred regions for BMD measurement are lumbar spine, proximal femur and whole ...

A medtech company is poised to revolutionise how osteoporosis is detected in the UK, offering a potential lifeline for ...

“Oftentimes, we diagnose osteoporosis when someone comes in with a fracture from a fall.” It can be identified from a DEXA scan, a series of X-rays that measure bone density, he notes.

Radiologists who evaluate CT scans have diagnostic challenges due to the complexity of underlying anatomy and the potential ...

Bone fracture healing is a highly coordinated process involving inflammation, fibrovascular formation, and mineralization. Vascularization plays a pivotal role, as inadequate blood supply can ...

This is the first trial to prospectively demonstrate the impact of bone-protecting agents use on fracture risk for men receiving an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor.

To examine the associations of dietary inflammatory index (DII) with bone mineral density ... using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry densitometers. Risk of fractures was obtained from participant ...
