  • Title: Bone density vs bone quality: what's a clinician to do?
    Author: Licata A.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2009 Jun; 76(6):331-6. PubMed ID: 19487553.
    Abstract:
    Studies of the epidemiology of osteoporosis and of drug treatments for it have challenged the concept that denser bone means stronger bone. Bone strength or resistance to fracture is not easily measured by routine densitometry, being a function of both density and quality.
