Evaluation of bone quality represents a challenge since the analysis by bone mineral density (BMD), provides useful but incomplete information. New tools are arising, and amog them, TBS is emerging as a new surrogate marker of bone texture and microarchitecture which may be useful to potentially evaluate the risk of bone fracture and can be obtained from already existing BMD scans. Retrospective study of 23 patients with PHH. Clinical, analytical and BMD data were collected fo...
