Preventing Osteoporotic Hip Fractures by Accurately Predicting Future Fractures
The goal of this project is to develop powerful new technology that would identify individuals with OP at high risk for hip fracture so that they can be definitively treated. It is expected that this action could markedly reduce the morbidity, mortality and cost of this pervasive disease.
