Introduction: Several studies have demonstrated a high incidence of vertebral fractures (VF) in acromegaly, not always correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) value adquired by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), a textural parameter applied to DEXA to evaluate BM, could be useful to predict VF risk in these patients.Materials a...
