Article Synopsis
- Bariatric surgery (BS), particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), may lead to bone loss and an increased risk of vertebral fractures.
- In a study of 80 patients, the prevalence of morphometric vertebral fractures (MVF) was found to be 17.5%, with no significant difference between the RYGB and SG groups despite differences in some bone markers.
- The RYGB group exhibited lower bone mineral density (BMD) in various regions compared to SG, indicating potential long-term bone health concerns post-surgery.
