Key Words	Fracture neck of femur; Bone mineral density; Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score; Fragility fracture; Osteoporosis
Core Tip	The results in this study place more emphasis on bone mineral density (BMD) when assessing fracture risk, in comparison to key factors incorporated into the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) predictive score. Menopause age and female gender had an indeterminate influence on BMD, as well as World Health Organization classification of osteoporosis. Body mass index had a significant influence on BMD. Osteoporosis was more common in patients with extra-capsular hip fracture patterns. This study shows that BMD is significant in assessing risk of fracture neck of femur in comparison to the FRAX predictive score.
