Thanks!
Yes the hip measurement is the femoral neck.
The concept of bone density vs. bone quality is new to me since I have only ever had DEXA scans. Not that I think my bone quality isn’t poor due to all the meds but it has never been assessed and am wondering if that’s something a surgeon would want to do prior to a fusion or an endocrinologist would want to do prior to medication. I am in the process of obtaining all my records from my previous endocrinologist because I have the scan reports but not the details with regard to the meds I was on and for how long for each one. My memory is a bit vague about that and my treatment by him predates the era of patient portals unfortunately.
