Distribution of hounsfield unit values in the pelvic bones: a comparison between young men and women with traumatic fractures and older men and women with fragility fractures: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract

HU values in the 6 pelvic areas were not uniform and were strongly related to load distribution. The HU distribution and age-related differences could explain the characteristic causes and patterns of acetabular fractures in the older and may help in surgical treatment.
