Evaluation of the Singh index and femur geometry in osteoporotic women

Abstract: AbstractWe aimed to compare the Singh index with bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), body mass index (BMI) and femur geometry in the right proximal femur of osteoporotic women, using different statistical tests. Radiographs of each patient were assessed to determine the Singh index by five observers. The observers consisted of a consultant radiologist, physical therapist and anatomists who studied the series of radiographs. They were asked to a… Show more

“…The Singh index is an inexpensive simple method to evaluate bone density, commonly used to assess osteoporosis and is based on the radiological appearance of the trabecular bone structure of the proximal femur on a plain Anterio-Posterior (AP) radiograph [9]. The present study was carried out to detect osteoporosis in Post-menopausal women by Singh's Index with and correlate it with clinical symptoms.…”
