A Novel Dual‐Energy X‐Ray Absorptiometry Protocol for the Proximal Humerus Reveals a Fatty Infiltration Dependent Reduction in Bone Mineral Density
, corresponding to a femoral neck T-score of -2.17. This protocol enables reproducible regional BMD assessment and demonstrates fatty infiltration-dependent bone loss progression. Femoral neck DXA may serve as a screening tool but is insufficient for definitive diagnosis.
