Serum C-Terminal Telopeptide of Type I Collagen in Osteoporotic Patients with Vertebral and Hip Fracture

초록

Introduction: Bone quality including bone turnover rate have been identified important. Biochemical marker of bone tumover is useful in diagnosis and monitoring response to treatment. However high within-person variability complicate their use. We investigated whether the bone mineral density and bone turnover maker were associated with fracture in the patients with femur fracture and vertebral fracture, and also whether sampling time affect the level of cTx. Conclusion: Fx in the elderly was associated with osteoporosis, specially in Fx with Vx. The bone turnover markers and BMD are useful to know the degree of osteoporosis in Fx. so we suggest that they are helpful for planning of treatment and prevention of fragility fracture in the elderly.
