low BMD is highest in Indians. There scarcity of data quantifying the problem. Thirty
patients (20-40 years) with traumatic proximal femoral fractures less than 1 week old
were taken as cases. 30 Healthy volunteers of the same age as controls selected
individuals subjected to xray both hips to determine the Singh’s index and
assessment of BMD by DEXA scan of the normal hip. Bland and Altman method of
agreementused. male: female:: 2:1. In fracture cases, 18 (60%) patients were
osteoporotic (Grade I, II, III), 7 (23.3%) osteopenic (Grade IV) and 5 (16.7%) normal
(Grade V, VI). percentages were 20%, 46.7% and 33.3% respectively in controls.
BMDassessed using DEXA scan T-values from unaffected hip revealed 80% (24
patients) of fracture cases (Table 3) had low bone mass. 5 of the 6 females in
fracture cases had low Bmd. In controls, 73.3% (22 patients) were either osteopenic
and none females had normal BMD of hip as per DEXA.Fracture cases were found
