TBS: enables differentiation from healthy cases to fractured cases. TBS Added Value: detection of  vertebral fractures.

Low densitometric zoneBest TBS added value is in the osteopenia zone. TBS + BMD > BMD alone; Weak correlation between BMD and TBS [r(TBS,BMD)=0.3]168 (42 fractures)people. Age matchedArticle BONE 2009, A2

Osteopenia Zone 1Same results as the previous study, but verified on a much bigger and significant osteopenic cohort243 (81 fractures) people. Age matchedArticle CTI 2010, A3

Osteopenia Zone 2
TBS > BMD. Here again we have a weak correlation TBS and BMD (0.24)

Evaluation of Hip fracture with TBS
Spine TBS helps  hip fracture prediction and as such could be a useful tool to prevent fractures, in combination with spine BMD

TBS and BMD predicts the fracture equally well (identical risks).Correlation BMD – TBS is 0.32. TBS + BMD > BMD alone.
TBS identifies 1/3 of fractures that were not identified by BMD

BMD and TBS predict fractures equally well. 39% of TBS  is explained by BMD. BMD and TBS are correlated to age (r=-0,17 et r=-0,49).
 Analysis of TBS tertile by tertile: increase of the number of fractured cases identified by TBS.

Treatments
Sub-study of Manitob
Significant differences between treated  and untreated in BMD and TBS.
Treated: increased BMD + stable TBS.
Untreated: decreased BMD and TBS.
Agrees with medical literature.
1684 subjects
(534 under treatment)
Leslie, Krieg, Hans

Corticoïds
Secondary Osteoporosis
TBS: significant difference between treated patients and the reference population, from 5mg/day;
BMD: no difference.
The higher the number of fractures, the lower TBS.
136 females on corticosteroids

Hyper-parathyroïdism
Secondary Osteoporosis
After PTX: Increased BMD; No increase in TBS: no correlation between BMD increase and TBS increase.
Agrees with literature.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Secondary Osteoporosis
TBS brings new information into fracture risk prediction;
8 cases with a high risk of fracture  identified by TBS only, thanks to TBS threshold (all with a normal BMD)

TBS: differentiation of the subjects  as a function of anorexia type. Physical activities exert an effect upon TBS
in women until 30 years old.
Agrees with literature.
