FRAX score predicts vertebral compression fractures impairing spinal alignment and hip function after total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study
In this 6.1-year retrospective cohort study, 20% of hips developed new VCFs after THA, which were associated with worsened spinal alignment and hip function. The higher FRAX score, calculated prior to THA surgery, is a useful predictor of VCF risk and may help identify individuals who require closer monitoring or preventive interventions during follow-up after surgery.
