Objectives: Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides incomplete information about bone strength. There are few data on the relationship between osteoporosis-related examinations and bone strength. The objective of the present study was to determine which osteoporosis-related examinations best predicted trabecular bone strength, and to enhance a formula for predicting bone strength on the basis of bone density examination.

Osteoporosis Caused by Monoallelic Variant of WNT1 Gene in Four Pediatric Patients.

Am J Med Genet A

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Pediatric patients of autosomal dominant early onset osteoporosis conferred by heterozygous mutation in the WNT1 (OMIM: 615221) were rarely reported, and therapy in pediatrics is relatively inexperienced. The clinical and genotypic characteristics and treatment process of four children with osteoporosis caused by WNT1 monoallelic variation were analyzed. The patients admitted from June 2023 to January 2024.

The influence of sintering of osteoporotic vertebral fractures on the sagittal lumbar profile and degenerative changes.

J Orthop Surg Res

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Medical Faculty, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany.

Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.

Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates are commonly used to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Many randomized controlled trials have proved the efficacy of bisphosphonates, showing their ability to increase bone mineral density and decrease the risk of hip and vertebral fractures. Atypical, bisphosphonate-related fractures concerning the femur have been widely described and a list of primary and secondary clinical and radiographic criteria are used in order to achieve diagnosis.

Objective: Previous observational studies on the association between aspirin use, bone mineral density (BMD), and fracture risk have yielded controversial results. This study explored the causal relationship between aspirin use, BMD, and fracture risk using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods: Summary data for aspirin use and BMD of five different body parts (femoral neck, lumbar spine, forearm, heel, and ultra distal forearm) and fractures were obtained from the integrative epidemiology unit open genome-wide association studies database for bidirectional MR analysis.
