About
Bone fracture occurrence is associated with an increasing of morbidity and mortality. Some factors of fracture occurrence have been highlighted. For example, some diseases or therapy are known to increased risk of bone fracture only in some patients. Accordingly, it is important for clinicians to identify patients at risk for bone fracture. Right now, various tools are available for the clinicians:
Thus, the HR-pQCT allows realizing a virtual bone biopsy and provides information on cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture. This is the only noninvasive way to assess cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture.
