Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate, using Singh's Index and a DEXA scan, the effects of oral calcium supplementation on mineralization at the proximal end of the femur in patients with fracture-proximal end femur. Singh's Index and a DEXA scan were used to perform baseline evaluations on a cohort of 100 individuals who had fractures in the proximal ends of their femurs. Oral calcium supplementation was started, and it was monitored three and six months later. Singh's Index, DEXA Scan, and subgroup analysis based on gender and age were used to evaluate changes in mineralization. At six months, Singh's Index and DEXA Scan measures showed a considerable improvement in mineralization, indicating the effectiveness of calcium supplementation. Participants who were older than 75 years old demonstrated the strongest reaction. Very few negative effects were noted.
