Trabecular bone microarchitecture predicts fragility fractures in postmenopausal women on denosumab treatment

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) represents a three-dimensional tool for the screening of osteoporosis patients i.e., regarding fracture risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the baseline and follow-up bone microarchitecture in relation to incident fracture risk in postmenopausal women on denosumab treatment.
