The broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) of the right calcaneus was measured in 78 women with hip fracture (45 trochanteric and 33 cervical) and in 85 normal women (mean age 78 years and 63 years, respectively). All cases were postmenopausal and the hip fractures had resulted from a fall from standing position or less. The women with hip fracture had lower BUA (41 dB/MHz) than normals (67 dB/MHz), but about 10 dB/MHz of this difference was associated with age. There was no significant difference in BUA between cases with trochanteric (41 dB/MHz) and those with cervical fracture (39 dB/MHz). It is worth noting that 35.5% of the women with trochanteric fracture were suffering from osteoarthrosis of the knees but only 15% of the women with cervical fractures had the same problem. Over 90% of the cases with hip fracture had BUA lower than 61 dB/MHz and 80% had lower than 51 dB/MHz.
对78名髋部骨折女性（45名转子间骨折和33名股骨颈骨折）和85名正常女性（平均年龄分别为78岁和63岁）测量了右侧跟骨的宽带超声衰减（BUA）。所有病例均为绝经后女性，髋部骨折均由站立位或更低位置摔倒所致。髋部骨折女性的BUA（41dB/MHz）低于正常女性（67dB/MHz），但这种差异约10dB/MHz与年龄有关。转子间骨折病例（41dB/MHz）和股骨颈骨折病例（39dB/MHz）的BUA无显著差异。值得注意的是，35.5%的转子间骨折女性患有膝关节骨关节炎，但只有15%的股骨颈骨折女性有同样的问题。超过90%的髋部骨折病例BUA低于61dB/MHz，80%低于51dB/MHz。
