Osteoporosis

Based on the more detailed "Textbook of Osteoporosis", this handbook is intended for the hospital doctor in general medicine, gynaecology, geriatrics, endocrinology or orthopaedics who needs a basic understanding of the processes. The rise of hormone replacement therapy has involved a wider range of specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder, and this manual has been designed to be as accessible and practical as possible. Diagnostic hints are highlighted in the margins.
