Risk factors for hip fracture in the elderly can be stratified through the evaluation of the radiographic canal-to-diaphysis ratio, according to recently published study findings.
Researchers measured the canal-to-diaphysis ratio on plain radiographs in 38 patients with trochanteric hip fracture and compared them to the radiographs of 39 age-matched patients with no hip fracture using the Shapiro-Walk test and likelihood ratio test.
