- Abstract
- To retrospectively assess how often and how early hip dualenergy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images show prefracture lesions in patients with atypical subtrochanteric fracture (ASF) and determine whether DXA images with assessment of prodromal symptoms could be used for early ASF prediction. The retrospective research protocol complied with HIPAA and was institutional review board approved, with waiver of informed consent. Among 62 women with ASF, nine without hip DXA images and seven without clear documentation of prodromal symptoms were excluded. Serial DXA images of 52 hips in 46 patients were included. Among them, 33 hips were assessed with ipsilateral DXA. For this ipsilateral group, each hip was assessed for prodromal symptoms and focal cortical changes in the lateral subtrochanteric femur cortex at DXA. Overall and cumulative detection rates for prodromal symptoms, DXA, and DXA with prodromal symptoms were measured and compared with a general linear model for overall detection rate and Cox proportional hazard models for cumulative detection rate. Thirty-three representative ipsilateral images and 199 images from subjects without fractures were reviewed in random order for prefracture lesions by three musculoskeletal radiologists independently, and the performance of DXA in ASF prediction was assessed. Overall detection rates for DXA, prodromal symptoms, and DXA with prodromal symptoms were 61% (20 of 33), 42% (14 of 33), and 73% (24 of 33), respectively, in the ipsilateral group. Overall detection rate comparisons showed that DXA with prodromal symptoms was superior to prodromal symptoms alone (P = .0377). The cumulative detection rate curve for DXA with prodromal symptoms was also superior to that of prodromal symptoms alone (P = .0018). Sensitivity and specificity of DXA in ASF prediction ranged from 52% (17 of 33) to 58% (19 of 33) and 99% (197 of 199) to 100% (199 of 199), respectively. Assessment of hip DXA images combined with conventional assessment of prodromal symptoms enables detection of more ASFs earlier than assessment based on prodromal symptoms alone.
