The revised, expanded Second Edition of this widely acclaimed work provides invaluable new insights into the causes, detection, and therapy of osteoporosis. The book is divided into five major sections. Basic Science includes chapters on bone histology, bone biochemistry, bone remodeling, and biomechanics related to fractures. Physiology assesses new preventive measures and presents new insights on the various contributing factors to osteoporosis, including nutritional and hormonal factors. Clinical Presentation focuses on the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of the disease. Diagnosis includes an extensive discussion of radiological assessment, as well as an update on the clinical utility of biochemical markers of skeletal turnover and bone histomorphometry. Management covers the latest treatment and prevention protocols, including drug therapy, vitamin therapy, and exercise and physical therapy regimens. It also discusses the design and operation of an osteoporosis clinic and the practical management of the osteoporosis patient
