Diagnosis of Atypical Subtrochanteric Fractures in The Clinical Setting
-
- STATUS
- Not Recruiting
Summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of men and women with femur shaft fractures who have atypical fractures according to ASBMR 2013 Task Force criteria; to identify the proportion of femur shaft fractures with individual atypical femur fracture criteria; to identify clinical factors predicting the probability of a femur shaft fracture being atypical, including BMD, comorbidities, etc.; to estimate the sensitivity and positive predictive value of physicians? clinical diagnoses (based on text reports) of atypical femur fractures after the date of the first (2009) ASBMR Task Force report (published 2010), using radiologists? adjudicated results from this study as gold standards; and to compare geometric features such as cortical thickness in ratio to the diameter of the femur shaft 5 cm below the lesser trochanter, and just distal to the fracture site, between patients identified with atypical fractures and typical fracture controls.
