The composition of a bone can be described in terms of the mineral phase, hydroxyapatite,
the organic phase, which consists of collagen type I, noncollagenous proteins, other …

The diagnosis and management of osteoporosis have been improved by the development of
new quantitative methods of skeletal assessment and by the availability of an increasing …

A medical device for preparing an elongated bone, such as a proximal femoral bone, for

Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH; OMIM: 241530) is a rare
autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1: 250,000 that was originally …

BACKGROUND: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) generally show reduced
bone mineral density (BMD) at cortical sites with relatively preserved trabecular bone …

Objective In primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), vertebral fractures (VFx) occur regardless
of bone mineral density (BMD) and may depend on decreased bone quality. Trabecular …

Substantial evidence exists that in addition to the well-known complications of diabetes,
increased fracture risk is an important morbidity. This risk is probably due to altered bone …

Context: Differences in bone mineral density (BMD) as assessed with dual-energy x-ray
absorptiometry are observed between geographic and ethnic groups, with important …
