Correlation between distal radial cortical thickness and bone mineral density.
To determine interobserver reliability in measuring the cortical thickness of distal radiuses on posteroanterior radiographs obtained at the time of injury and to determine whether there is a correlation between distal radius cortical thickness and hip and lumbar spine scores on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). ⋯ Diagnostic II.
