Résumé
The distal fibula represents one of the most common fracture sites, and its epidemiology is characterized by a high incidence in both adolescence and the elderly. While fracture occurrence is influenced by trauma mechanism, a possible underlying skeletal microarchitectural deterioration in certain patient groups remains elusive. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of age, sex, and overall skeletal status on fibular microarchitecture. We analyzed the microarchitecture of the distal fibula in 300 people by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Three areal bone mineral density (aBMD) groups (normal, osteopenia, osteoporosis; n = 100 per group) based on the concurrent assessment of aBMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and total hip were established. Next to group comparisons, linear and non-linear regression analyses were carried out to assess the association between age, sex, BMI, tibial and fibular microarchitecture. While women had lower values for both trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV
