Beyond bone mineral density, proximal femoral (PF) and hip joint (HJ) morphometry have been implicated in fracture susceptibility and fracture pattern. However, the relative contribution of individual geometric parameters remains incompletely defined. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the association between PF and HJ morphometry and hip fracture (HF) patterns, and to assess the predictive value of radiographic morphometric parameters derived from standard anteroposterior radiographs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.
