The incidence of osteoporotic hip fractures increases with age, more sharply in women than in men, as a result of qualitative and quantitative bone alterations. Mineralization (a qualitative parameter) showed no differences with age or sex in cancellous bone in earlier studies. Few studies assessed such differences in cortical bone, a major contributor to femoral bone strength. The aim of this in vitro cross-sectional study of a large group of human femoral midshafts was to look for age- and sex-related differences in the degree and distribution of cortical mineralization that might be implicated in bone fragility.
