Increases in BMD Correlate With Improvements in Bone Microarchitecture With Teriparatide Treatment in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

Abstract

Increases in BMD are correlated with improvements in trabecular microarchitecture in iliac crest of patients with teriparatide treatment. Therefore, improvements in trabecular bone microarchitecture may be one of the mechanisms to explain how BMD increases improve bone strength during teriparatide treatment.
