Acromegaly is associated with vertebral deformations but not vertebral fractures: Results of a cross-sectional monocentric study.

Objectives: Patients with acromegaly appear to be at increased risk of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density. We investigated the prevalence of vertebral fractures in a cohort of acromegalic patients under 80 years of age.

Methods: Monocentric cross-sectional study performed at Nantes University Hospital from 1988 to 2018.
