There was no significant correlation found.
BMD = bone mineral density; Tb.Th. = femoral neck trabecular thickness; Tb.Sp. = trabecular separation; Tb.N. = trabecular number; E = elastic modulus with simulated loading in three different directions: SI = superior-inferior; ML = medial-lateral AP = anterior-posterior.
