Analysis of the evolution of cortical and trabecular bone compartments in the proximal femur after spinal cord injury by 3D-DXA

ConclusionsMarked trabecular and cortical bone loss was observed at the proximal femur short-term after SCI. 3D-DXA measured vBMD evolution at both femoral compartments and cortical thinning, providing better knowledge of their differential contributory role to bone strength and probably of the effect of therapy in these patients.
