Purpose To evaluate the performance of three imaging methods (radiography, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry DXA, and quantitative computed tomography CT) and that of a numerical analysis with finite element modeling (FEM) in the prediction of failure load of the proximal femur and to identify the best densitometric or geometric predictors of hip failure load.
