Bone Mineral Densities and Mechanical Properties of Retrieved Femoral Bone Samples in relation to Bone Mineral Densities Measured in the Respective Patients

Table 3

Linear correlation between BMD (DXA and ashing) and mechanical properties (structural modulus (𝐸_𝑠) and ultimate compression strength (𝜎_max)).

	DXA BMD femoral neck	DXA BMD femoral head	DXA BMD	Ashing BMD
	Patient measurements	Patient measurements	Bone samples	Bone samples
𝐸𝑠	0.61*	0.79**	0.82**	0.8**
𝜎max	0.36	0.56*	0.61*	0.67*

*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
