The correlation of Singh index and cortical thickness index toward bone mineral density in women older than 60 years old with femoral neck fracture

Background: Femoral neck fracture is one of the most common fractures in elderly. Proximal femur elderly patients considered a severe morbidity which has negative impact on life expectancy and quality life. Aim this study was to find correlation cortical thickness index (CTI) SI toward bone density (BMD) female over 60 years age with femoral fracture.Methods: This an observational cross-sectional study. Subjects were selected from Sanglah general hospital outpatient department, Denpasar, Bali during period October 2020 January 2021 by inclusion requirements then randomized into two groups. Data taken through history taking, physical examination as well supporting investigations such contralateral hip joint radiograph BMD measurements. Statistical analysis done those data.Results: It been obtained that there positive Singh (SI) CTI BMD. The coefficient (r) between 0.874 (p=0.000). r 0.854 Both variables significant.Conclusions: There significantly strong correlations (r=0.874, p=0.00), also (r=0.854, p=0.00) fracture.
