The thickness of the medial cortex of the femoral neck does not decrease with age in the same way as other common parameters of bone mass. However, in women with fracture of the upper end of the femur, it is below normal. The variable, expressed as the cortical index of the femoral neck may have some use in predicting the risk of femoral neck fracture from routine films of the hip.
股骨颈内侧皮质厚度并不像其他常见骨量参数那样随年龄增长而减小。然而，在股骨上端骨折的女性中，其厚度低于正常水平。以股骨颈皮质指数表示的这一变量，可能在通过常规髋关节X线片预测股骨颈骨折风险方面具有一定作用。
