The comparison of age- and sex-specific alteration in pubic bone microstructure: A cross-sectional cadaveric study

CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that age-associated deterioration in trabecular and cortical pubic bone micro-architecture could unravel a morphological basis for decreased pubic bone strength and increased pubic bone fragility, which leads to fracture predilection in the elderly women. Thus, the individual fracture risk assessment should be advised in the elderly, with a particular accent on aged women.PMID:33940115 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2021.111375
