Bone geometry and volumetric bone mineral density in girls with Turner syndrome of different pubertal stages

Abstrakt

An increased rate of fractures has been reported in patients with Turner syndrome (TS). We aimed to assess bone geometry and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the radius in girls with TS and to evaluate the relationships between bone parameters and fracture history.
