Relation between bone mass parameters and fracture load at the femoral neck. In all groups, there were significant correlations between the fracture load and total BMC, cortical BMC or total bone area at the femoral neck. In all groups, the alendronate-treated groups (ALN and ALN + Vit.D), the calcitriol-treated groups (Vit.D and ALN + Vit.D) and combined treatment group, there were significant correlation between the fracture load and total BMC in the femoral neck.
