Comparison of 10-year fracture probabilities calculated using the FRAX for the patients with or without previous fractures among the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
| Patients with Previous Fractures n = 37 |
Patients without Previous Fractures n = 202 |

Major osteoporotic fracture
probability with femur BMD |

Hip fracture probability
with femur BMD |
4.0 ± 4.3 | 1.8 ± 1.7 | <0.0001 * |

Major osteoporotic fracture
probability without femur BMD |
11.6 ± 4.2 | 7.3 ± 3.1 | <0.0001 * |

Hip fracture probability
without femur BMD |
4.7 ± 2.5 | 2.7 ± 2.1 | <0.0001 * |
* p < 0.005. Statistical analysis was performed Mann-Whitney test. FRAX, fracture risk assessment tool; SD, standard deviation; BMD, bone mineral density.
