Assessment of Bone Quality Using Radiogrammetric Parameters of Proximal Humerus in India: Defining the Osteoporotic Fracture Risk Limit Value and its Reliability.

The outcome of this study is likely to help in early diagnosis of osteoporosis at the community level in the absence of DXA scan as it identifies threshold values for radiogrammetric parameters which can be a predictor of the osteoporosis. The deltoid tuberosity index was found to be the most suitable of these parameters.
