A 50-year-old male went to the preventive medical center of our hospital for examination. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing showed an abnormally high value of the left femoral neck compared to the right side. The patient had previously received only surgery for a ruptured left elbow ligament. Hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were also found, as well as high levels of triglycerides and low thyroid stimulating hormone. The patient was diagnosed with hip subchondral lucencies and sclerosis which resulted in increased BMD.
