Understanding Trabecular Bone Score
Show: UAB Med Cast
Trabecular bone score (TBS) adds insight beyond bone mineral density to better assess fracture risk and guide treatment decisions. Basma Abdulhadi, M.D., discusses how TBS complements DEXA and refines FRAX estimates, especially in patients with osteopenia who are near the treatment threshold. Learn how Type 2 diabetes can mask fracture risk and who may benefit from TBS as part of their initial assessment.
