Spearman correlation coefficients for BMD of the femoral neck and calcaneus in patients with a primary tumor located in the lower extremity (n = 24)

Bone Density	ρ =	p-value
aBMD affected	0.654	0.001
aBMD contralateral	0.798	< 0.001
BMC affected	0.549	0.005
BMC contralateral	0.741	< 0.001
vBMDfemur - aBMDcalcaneus affected	0.649	0.001
vBMDfemur - aBMDcalcaneus contralateral	0.694	< 0.001

BMC = bone mineral content, aBMD = areal bone mineral density, vBMD = volumetric bone mineral density
