1. Which vertebral level is most commonly fractured in

osteoporotic patients?

• A) T5–T7

• B) L3–L5

• C) T12–L1

• D) C5–C7

Rationale: The thoracolumbar junction (T12–L1) experiences the

greatest biomechanical stress and is the most common site of

osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

,2. The cortical bone of the proximal femur is thickest at which

region?

• A) Greater trochanter

• B) Femoral neck

• C) Shaft

• D) Lesser trochanter

Rationale: Cortical bone thickness decreases from the shaft to

the femoral neck. The neck is mostly trabecular bone, making it

more vulnerable to osteoporotic fracture.

3. Which skeletal site has the highest percentage of trabecular

bone?

• A) Lumbar spine (vertebral body)

• B) Mid-shaft radius

• C) Femoral neck

, • D) Calcaneus k




Rationale: Vertebral bodies are ~75% trabecular bone, which has

higher metabolic activity and shows early bone loss. The femoral

neck is ~50% trabecular, 50% cortical.
