Die Entstehung von osteoporose-bezogenen Frakturen kann nicht allein aus Knochenparametern abgeleitet werden, denn extravertebrale Frak...
Bone mineral content per muscle cross-sectional area as an index of the functional muscle-bone unit
Bone densitometric data often are difficult to interpret in children and adolescents because of large inter- and intraindividual variat...
Postmenopausal changes in the distribution of the volumetric BMD of cortical bone. A pQCT study of the human leg
Three different regions of interest (ROIs) were defined in pQCT scans (XCT-3000 machine, Stratec, Germany) taken at the tibial mid-diap...
High-impact exercise and bones of growing girls: a 9-month controlled trial
The maximum amount of bone a person can obtain during the first two decades of life is an important determinant of bone mass in later l...
The development of metaphyseal cortex–implications for distal radius fractures during growth
Fractures of the distal radial metaphysis are very common in otherwise healthy children. The reasons for this high fracture incidence a...
pQCT measurement of bone parameters in young children: validation of technique
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures areal bone mineral density (BMD) and is affected by bone size. Peripheral quantitative ...
Bone densities and bone size at the distal radius in healthy children and adolescents: a study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) has the ability to improve the diagnostic utility of densitometry in children and ad...
The development of bone strength at the proximal radius during childhood and adolescence
Current investigations of bone development mostly focus on bone mass, but bone strength may be functionally more important than mass. T...
Densitometric and tomographic analyses of musculoskeletal interactions in humans
Previous studies with standard densitometry (DXA) have suggested that the bone mass is strongly dependent on the muscle mass in the spe...
The ‘muscle-bone unit’ in children and adolescents: a 2000 overview
In former views hormones, calcium, vitamin D and other humoral and nonmechanical agents dominated control of postnatal bone strength (a...
