To assess the risk of major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) and hip fractures among study participants.\n\nMaterials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India. A sample of 453 participants, both male and female, above 50 years of age was included. BMD measurements were assessed using the ultrasound bone densitometer. The BMI and fracture risk assessment (FRAX) score were calculated for all patients.\n\nResults: The average age of the participants was 60 years. The mean t-score was \u22121.57. 306 (68%) had osteopenia, and 45 (9.9%) participants had osteoporosis. A higher number of females (73%) had osteoporosis than males (27%). There was no significant difference between the BMI in the normal (28.16) and the osteopenia (27.67) and osteoporotic groups (26.92). Mean MOF risk was 4.03 (2.81 SD).\n\nConclusion: Decrease in BMD was associated with increased fracture risk, particularly among older female participants. The findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions and clinical strategies to improve bone health and reduce fracture risk.\n\nKeywords: Prevalence, bone mineral density, body mass index, fracture risk assessment score, osteoporosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i07.7734","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T09:59:33Z","timestamp":1783677573000},"page":"504-512","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Osteoporotic Fracture Risk in Patients above 50 Years Using Quantitative Ultrasonography and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool: A Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Chanchal","family":"Bokan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vineet Thomas","family":"Abraham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajeev","family":"Aravindakshan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I Muni","family":"Srikanth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalyan Deepak","family":"Sreenivas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeevan Vijay","family":"Rajasekhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T04:44:03Z","timestamp":1786077843000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/07\/assessment-of-osteoporotic-fracture-risk-in-patients-above-50-years-using-quantitative-ultrasonography-and-fracture-risk-assessment-tool-a-cross-sectional-study\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i07.7734","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Research Article","name":"content_type","label":"Content Type"},{"value":"Yes","name":"crosschecked","label":"CrossChecked"},{"value":"Yes","name":"peer_reviewed","label":"Peer Reviewed"},{"value":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i07.7734","name":"published","label":"Published"},{"value":"Creative Commons Attribution","name":"license","label":"License","explanation":{"URL":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0"},"group":{"name":"rights","label":"Rights"}}]}}
