Hey,

FA says "Diagnosed by DEXA with at the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck with T-score of less than or equal to -2,5"

What is meant with "total hip"? Isn't that term including femoral neck? Wouldn't it be redundant to mention femoral neck again, if so?

Other question: "Osteoporosis: Trabecular and cortical bone lose mass and interconnections despite normal bone mineralization". What is meant with "interconnections"?

Thank you!
