Beneficial effects of denosumab on muscle performance in patients with low BMD: a retrospective, propensity score-matched study.

Unlabelled: This study examined the effects of denosumab compared to bisphosphonates and vitamin D alone on muscle performance in patients with low BMD. While grip force improved in both the denosumab and bisphosphonate group, a superior increase in chair rising test force was observed in the denosumab group.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the anti-resorptive agent denosumab (Dmab) on upper and lower limb muscle performance compared to bisphosphonate (BP) treatment and vitamin D supplementation alone (i.

Evaluation of postural stability in patients screened for osteoporosis: A retrospective study of 1086 cases.

Background: Although the interactions between balance, falls and fracture risk have been demonstrated in various aspects, the clinical focus of fracture risk evaluation has been on bone properties, e.g., bone mineral density (BMD).

Diagnostic yield of cone beam computed tomography for small foreign body detection in the hand in comparison with radiography, MSCT and MRI: an ex vivo study.

Introduction: Detection of symptomatic foreign bodies (FB) after penetrating hand injuries can be challenging. Multiplanar radiography is most frequently used for FB detection and may be complemented by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) if suspected FBs cannot be identified and clinical symptoms are persisting. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a promising imaging modality for traumatology aside from fracture detection.

Low physical performance determined by chair rising test muscle mechanography is associated with prevalent fragility fractures.

Unlabelled: This study examined associations between physical performance assessed by chair rising test muscle mechanography and DXA T-score as well as body composition in a large patient cohort. Next to various significant interrelationships between these muscle and bone parameters, lower physical performance was associated with prevalent fragility fractures.

Purpose: Although the interaction between muscle and bone has been demonstrated in various aspects, the clinical focus in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders mainly lies on the skeletal assessments.
