Official Title: Effect of Mechanical Loading on vBMD and Geometry in Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Brief Summary: In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) on bone geometry simultaneously at the tibia and the radius, peripheral bone sites with similar structure but subject to different loading conditions. This evaluation was made by comparing z-scores of bone parameters measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).
