Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures although bone mineral density is increased. As such, there is a need for improved approaches to estimate fracture risk in such individuals. The Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is a new technique to determine the trabecular bone microarchitecture.Objective: Our aim was to evaluate evaluate the usefulness of TBS in T2DM patients.Methods: We compared...
