Background
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan is an easy and cost-effective method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD). However, in patients with degenerative changes of the spine, overestimation of T-score on DEXA scan can occur despite low BMD during pedicle screw placement in spine surgery. The goal of this study is to assess BM...
