Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a parameter of bone microarchitecture that is determined by the level analysis of DXA images. TBS is associated with fractures in the preliminary case-control and prospective studies. The aim of this study was to assess the TBS role in the traumatology and orthopedics. We've examined 176 healthy women aged 40–79 years (mean age – 53.4±0.6 yrs) and 117 men aged 40–79 years (mean age – 59.8±0.9 yrs). Bone mineral density (BMD) of whole body, PA lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured by DXA method (Prodigy, GEHC Lunar, Madison, WI, USA) and PA spine TBS were assessed by TBS iNsight® software package installed on the available DXA machine (Med-Imaps, Pessac, France).Introduction
