POS1176 COMPARISON OF CORTICAL BACKSCATTER ULTRASOUND, REFERENCE-POINT INDENTATION AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN DISCRIMINATING PREVALENT FRAGILITY FRACTURES IN INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATIC DISEASES: A PILOT STUDY
Edgar Wiebe, B. Kuntz, A. Galindo Santos, Zhivana Boyadzhieva et autres
Background: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMDs) have an increased risk of osteoporotic fragility fractures. Traditional fracture risk assessment via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) does not fully capture this risk. Cortical Backscatter (CortBS) ultrasound is a radiation-free technique for assessing …
