Normative Database for HR-pQCT-Based Radius and Tibia Strength

NCT03219099 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 576

Last updated 2018-10-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A novel methodology was recently developed and validated by the applicants to compute bone strength at the distal radius and tibia using second-generation HR-pQCT reconstructions. The methodology is expected to improve significantly the assessment of bone fracture risk in idiopathic and secondary osteoporosis, but no reference data and no reproducibility data are available.

The objective of the study is the determination of the sex- and age-specific distributions of accurate distal radius and tibia strength assessed by HR-pQCT in the Swiss population.
