Correlation of Femoral and Lumbar DXA and Calcaneal Ultrasound, Measured In Situ with Intact Soft Tissues, with the In Vitro Failure Loads of the Proximal Femur

The objective of this study was to determine experimentally the sex-specific correlation of femoral and lumbar DXA and calcaneal ultrasound, measured in situ, with the in vitro failure loads of the proximal femur. Fifty-eight cadavers with intact skin and soft tissues (34 male, aged 81.2 +/- 8.7 yea...
