Your Wrist Says Osteoporosis, but Your Hip and Spine Don’t. Now What?

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explains what it means when a DEXA scan shows osteoporosis at the wrist, but not at the hip or spine. He breaks down when the one-third radius should be measured and why an isolated wrist T-score may require more investigation. You’ll also learn how bone density at different scan sites relates to fracture risk and what information to consider before making treatment decisions.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8634613/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39403961/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2404146/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14606506/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35478046/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21810530/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19723465/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3213623/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7762910/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16699736/🦴 Stronger Bones.
