Abstract:
With the increasing life span of the population and the increasing proportion of the elderly population, the elderly with osteoporosis are prone to hip fractures, which brings heavy economic burdens to the family and society. The progress in predicting hip fractures from the aspects of the proximal femur geometry, bone mineral density (BMD), fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) and finite element analysis (FEA) based on computed tomography (CT) imaging was reviewed, in order to understand the influencing factors of fracture risk, improve the accuracy of hip fracture risk prediction for the elderly, detect the high fracture risk group at an early stage, and hence to reduce the occurrence of fractures with appropriate preventing measures, and provide theoretical references for the prevention and treatment of hip fractures.
