Bone Mineral Densities and Mechanical Properties of Retrieved Femoral Bone Samples in relation to Bone Mineral Densities Measured in the Respective Patients

Table 2

Linear correlation between the BMD measured on each patient and BMD of the respective bone samples.

	DXA BMD femoral neck	DXA BMD femoral head	DXA BMD	Ashing BMD
	Patient measurements	Patient measurements	Bone samples	Bone samples
DXA BMD femoral neck	1	0.78**	0.67*	0.49
DXA BMD femoral head	0.78**	1	0.85**	0.79**
DXA BMD	0.67*	0.85**	1	0.92**
Ashing BMD	0.49	0.79**	0.92**	1
