Osteoporosis is becoming an increasingly important public health issue, and effective
treatments to prevent fragility fractures are available. Osteoporosis imaging is of critical …

Bone and muscle are two deeply interconnected organs and a strong relationship between
them exists in their development and maintenance. The peak of both bone and muscle mass …

We previously showed that Irisin, a myokine released from skeletal muscle after physical
exercise, plays a central role in the control of bone mass. Here we report that treatment with …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

Context: Assessment of trabecular microarchitecture may enhance the prediction of fracture
risk and improve monitoring of treatment response. A new high-resolution peripheral …

Vertebral fractures are independent risk factors for vertebral and nonvertebral fractures.
Since vertebral fractures are often missed, the relatively new introduction of vertebral …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a complimentary method to
measure bone quality and assess fracture risk. However, manual segmentation of MR …

We assessed the role of low aBMD and impaired architecture—assessed by an HR‐pQCT
system—in a case‐control study of postmenopausal women with fractures. Vertebral and …

Osteoporosis is a known consequence of spinal cord injury (SCI) and occurs in almost every
SCI patient. It manifests itself as an increase in the incidence of lower extremity fractures …

As was true 10 years ago, tremendous interest surrounds the concept of" bone quality," as
shown by the intense and growing research activity in the field. The urgency to advance …
